I was looking for a missing .rtf file** and with Everything, and I found
that license.rtf was 10,868 files out of 12,500 .rtf total

Will I be arrested for RollingUp without a license?

It would make it a lot easier to find any other missing .rtf file.

Quite a few lipeula.rtf too, and some oobe_help_opt_in_details.rtf too
(although anything with help sounds important).

I know the space used is still not a lot but loads of directory entries.

Are there any other files with 1000's of copies I could delete?

somewhere.

"Nathan" in this thread, expresses an interest in the .rtf files.

And you notice, we never heard from Nathan again.

Cautionary tale ? Or what.

The first folder I checked, it was a Microsoft folder, and
it had 22 of those files!

But I don't want to end up like Nathan, in the slammer...

You think it's just jail. Oh, yeah, working without a eula. My first
reaction was that he was killed.

When I did it, it found about 11,200 such files, and it added them up
for me, about 87megs, not much but 30 years I would have been happy to
have 87 megs. Towards the end it started refusing to delete them. After
20 of those I just cancelled and I have 288 left.

I reordered t hem 2 different ways and tried again but none got deleted.
I'm not positive it tried in the display order but in some file
managers, it copies them in the order they are listed.

There were 316 eula's but now there are 12. Now that the number is so
small, I should have time to read them.

I would archive them in a single zip archive, then delete them all :-)

Or not bother.
