Q: HELP!!!!! Mac HD > lost+found Folder
Recently when looking in my Mac HD i found a folder called "lost+found". I looked around on the internet to find out what it is because it only recently appeared. I'm still not 100% sure what it is and if I can delete it. There is nothing in it just empty folders (e.g. "6477455"). I have recently run Disk Utility from my Mac OS X bootup disk and done a Disk Verify (this came up with some missing directories and some other errors) so i then ran First Aid and a Disk Repair, it apparently fixed it and when ever i run the disk verify now it comes up saying the disk is OK.
The lost+found folder says it was created on the same day as i ran the disk repair!
All i want to know is if my Drive is okay and also what this folder is, and lastly can i delete it.
Thanks in Advance

The lost and found folder is created by Disk Utility when you run first aid.
If there's nothing you need in it, you can delete it.
