Anybody knows why I have MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS and SQLTELEMETRY$SQLEXPRESS folders in location C:WindowsUsers after installing SQL Server 17.9?



Is it a problem to delete both of them?

    They're be part of the service accounts set up. Why do you want to delete them though? They can't be taking up a lot of storage space, probably an MB or 2 at most.

  • I am feel disturbed with the location, both of them in C:Users folder. Is it normal and other people have both folder in C:Users? I think it should be in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server.

    "disturbed"? I don't think it really caused you any emotional or mental problems. As I said they are linked to Service accounts. Service Accounts are users; where else would you therefore expect user related information to be stored other than in the Users directory?

  • I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by that. It won't have effected the files in your user directory, it made different directories; as you have stated.
