But small files, a 1 byte file without special attributes qualifies, is stored in the MFT. Therefore it takes up the same space as a 0 byte file - 1kb in the MFT. You can find where a file is stored by using Perfect Disk's View menu - Find File feature. Even larger files such as boot.ini are stored in the MFT. So are all my favourites.

So why would you then say you should delete your favourites WHEN THEY ARE TAKING UP NO EXTRA DISK SPACE than if they were deleted (although this is only 99% of the time) as the MFT (99% of the time) storage is already allocated.
