Of course you might delete invisible files that are important to OS 9...
There are more than 200,000 files on my drive using Jaguar. I wonder if
it would be possible to delete all of those without creating problems.

Of course, the drive in question is already flakey so deletion may not
be a good answer while erasing and a new install almost always is.
