"Hidden" files on my cylinder??

[psyklops]

IM using windows 98

Im getting an error which says that I have hidden files such as image.sav or mirorsav.fil on the last cylinder of my windows partition. This is preventing fips from reclaiming disk space for my linux install.
I went to view>folder options select all files, but I couldn't find any files by this name. Am I looking in the right place?Anyone know where the files could be and what I should do with them when I find them? Would it be ok to delete them? :confused: Thank you.

From a fips FAQ found by doing a Google search for the filenames in question:
3. Data at end of hard drive after defrag
-----------------------------------------
a) Windows swapfile isn't moved by defrag. You must uninstall it using the
386enhanced part of the Control Panel and reinstall it after using FIPS.

b) The progs IMAGE and MIRROR, store hidden files in the last sector of the
disk. These files are image.idx and mirorsav.fil. Delete them before using
FIPS (they'll be recreated next time you run mirror). In the root directory:
attrib -r -s -h image.idx
attrib -r -s -h mirorsav.fil
del \image.idx
del mirorsav.fil

c) Search for hidden files.

d) DO NOT MOVE DOS HIDDEN FILES ibmbio.com, ibmdos.com or something similar.
These reside in the first sectors of the disk anyhow.
