• Desktop icons and the trash disappeared after disk cleanup

  I have a dell latitude d 600.  My boyfriend hit the disk Cleanup wizard.  Now I'm not sure how much information that I lost.  Where did my desktop icons? I'm not in re cycle bin, where is he at?

  Hi georgeholly,

  Disk Cleanup only removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

  So you would have not lost any critical information from your computer.

  For more information on what disk cleanup, see the following article:

  Icons or shortcuts should be in this folder:

  If they do not exist, just recreate them. Click on file/new/shortcut and the disk cleanup are a path to:

• Disk Cleanup cleans too much

  After using the disk cleanup and/or delete cookies, click on 'my documents' sometimes gives me the message in a security alert box that says: "your current security settings do not allow this action".  It is related to the deletion of the temporary files and cookies.  I used regularly cleaning disc for years and never had this problem. I can reboot, which solves the problem, and sometimes clicking on Explorer windows me provides access. Called engineer and he is clueless.

  User ID for different sites used to stay if I cleaned my computer, but not now.  In the last two weeks or more, all settings, even those where I clicked "keep me signed in", have disappeared. I complete the info, but if I use drive clean once again, they will.  Another new problem is that cookies are now a few numbers and letters, so I can't identify the ones I know are related to passwords and I have to keep.  I didn't click anything to encrypt or hide. I'm too old to remember their so much used to manually remove the unwatedn everyone. Windows allows me to remember, but this box is gone for a while. Came back via AutoComplete, forms and passwords.

  To security settings preventing me from accessing my documents, "I tried to share the folder, separate, simple release file sharing, but trying to clean temporary files causes havoc without worrying." Looking for viruses and malware still ok.  Clean reinstall last year and he had a WORD six months ago. I use ie8 with XP. I am the only user and the administrator only.

  You started by saying that you have your problem "after using disk cleanup and/or delete cookies.  As a doctor, you should be familiar with the old joke:

  Patient: Doc, does it hurt when I do this.
  Doctor: Do not do this.

  When you run Disk Cleanup, do not check the box to clean 'Temporary Internet Files '.

  I don't use Internet Explorer much, but my suspicion is more related to your use of IE 8 than any change in disk cleanup.  If you wish to continue using IE 8 (rather than, for example, Firefox) and you want to continue your practice periodically remove all temporary Internet files and browser cookies, then I suggest that you re - post your question in the Forum of IE8, where someone who knows of IE8 can be able to provide substantive advice more.

  It (probably) won't be the problem alert security, but instead rely on your browser (whatever you choose to use) to store usernames and passwords, you can use a "password manager".   I don't am not sure that I'd recover completely "Top ten customers", but it gives you an idea of what is out there.  You can the rated and other research applications (or ask in the forum, IE).

• When running Disk Cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files'.

  When I run my disk cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files' during cleaning.» Why not? I also need more disk space to defragment and I deleted all the programs that I don't use, but is not yet give me enough disk space.

  Compress old files not removes all files, compress files that are rarely or seldom used.

  If you get the low disk space, less than 15-20% free space, then you need to collect as much space as possible. However, the amount you get will not be a solution, only a temporary fix - it that.

  To add or remove programs and Windows components in Control Panel, you can uninstall programs as your plue no use - if you have. Not to be far uninstalling programs, you do not recognize, many elements are required for other programs work properly.

  Uninstall or change a program
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

  You can also check to see how much space is reserved for the restoration of the system; by default, many GBs are usually reserved. Also disable hibernation as the file created can be 2-3 GB, sometimes even more.

  You must also consider moving your files and folders on a removable media, such as DVDs or an external hard drive. Still a great flash drive with 4 + GB of space can help, and their prices are reasonable these days.

  In addition to Disk Cleaner, you can consider running CCleaner. This is a free program that will remove the unnecessary and temporary files temporary Internet files of the most popular and many browsers other caches that can be cleaned safely.

  Since you are using Windows XP, there is a setting in CCleaner to remove the uninstallers of patches; These are the Windows Update files you've downloaded and installed over time and are there if you ever want to uninstall the update. But you can save these CD/DVD and then remove them safely from your system to recover the space. If you have ever removed one of these, you may be able to get beyond 1 GB of space.

  CCleaner
   http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

  If you decide to try it, by default, that almost everything in Windows Applications and is verified to be cleaned. You must first review the lists (they are compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

  Then click on analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right click and select view detailed results) of the entries in the list to get more information.

  According to the detailed results, you can right click for options such as adding to the list of exclusions if you want the deleted item.

  Once that you are completely comfortable with your selections, you can click the run Cleaner button and then OK to put warn before vacuuming will run.

  CCleaner is also a registry cleaner that I don't recommend that you use - even if you have successfully run a registry cleaner in the past, it is quite possible that the next time will bring serious problems; they are not worth the risk...

  CNET editor's review:

  I know that this was not the miracle that you can have hoped, but personally recommended solution is a new, larger hard drive. In the case of desktop computers, an additional hard disk is useful for your personal files, especially for music, movies, photos and more.

  I hope this helps.

• I have a 45 GB hard drive which gives a msg of disk is low, but can only account for about 15 GB used. Run Disk Cleanup, but it did not help. I'm looking for why the drive is full?

  There is nothing huge load on the computer.  No photos, no videos and some documents.
  Even displays hidden files and still no explanation.
  Working on SP2... not enough space to install SP3.

  Download and run JDiskReport: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/index.html

  This will show you what files take up space.

  You can run the disk cleanup tool (start > run > cleanmgr > OK), but if you still get low disk space message, I suspect that it's your System Volume Information directory.

  You must "show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" to see this directory, but it isn't something to mess with casually and the system normally will prevent you to do so.

  The IVR directory includes the restore points created by system restore and the database of indexing created if you let Windows index your drive.

  If you have not changed the default, the system restore will take up to 12% of your drive hard or about 5.4 GB of your 45 GB drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html as fill you the disk, the system restore can produce some of its space, but, in doing so, it will generate these warnings "low disk space".  If you're curious, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300044

  Windows XP provides a feature called the "Indexing Service" which can speed up the file searching in some cases.  As a general rule, speed is not overhead, both in system for indexing resources happens in the database index files that take place in the IVR directory.  See, for example, http://lifehacker.com/#! 031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp

• Defragmenter shows that I have a lot of disk space being taken up by a file that cannot be defragmented. I tried disk cleanup. I can't find this file to remove...

  The Defragmenter report is:
  Fragments of files in file size that cannot be defragmented
  32 330 MB \Documents and Settings\Bill & LaVerne\Local Settings\Temp\~PST5291.tmp
  I tried to find this file in order to remove it, but were unsuccessful.  I have the configuration of the computer to make the "hidden files" visible.  I searched all the temporary files by searching *.tmp and deleated all .tmp files that were more than 30 days old.  I searched files with one of the components of the file listed but am not successfulin find the listed file.
  Why can't I find this file?

  Hi Steven,

  I tried the program you recommended "Pagedefrag", but he did not find any fragmented junk files to be fixed.

  However, I had another idea, I went into "the command prompt ", and progress through the file defragmentation report structure was first listed as the path of the fragmented files.  After clicking on "command prompt " in the program lists, I used an old DOS command line: cd (change directory ) (for each step ) and the following file type listed since the path of the defrag report file until I came to the temp indicated as fragmented file.  Then I typed del (space) and then pasted in the name of the file I wanted to delited "~ PST5291.tmp" and you press on [Enter] was deleted, and I was thrilled!

  I delited the file in mode "command prompt " even if windows has not shown that there was!

  Before I tried this, I got windows put in place a restore point in case where my new idea would cause a problem.

  Oh, before I tried this, I also ran again disk cleanup and led also to search all *.tmp files.

  Note: after you remove the ' ~ PST5291.tmp ' file, I ran again the defrag program with several additional fragmented files that cannot be defragmented reported!  When I deleted them... According to the above method, I managed to free up enough disk space change free space of 13% to 34% of free space on the C: drive.
  Quite impressive.
  Can someone explain why windows program (search or windows explorer) cannot 'see' all these files and why 'disk cleanup' could not find and remove?  They took almost 10 GIG of space!

  Thank you

• Problems with Vista after disk cleanup

  I have problems with my computer. I have Windows Home Basic Edition. I decided to do a disk cleanup on the computer to speed up some. After disk cleanup, all icons on the desktop disappeared. I tried to open the word processor in the start menu, but got a message saying that he had either been moved or was not valid, and the shortcut would be deleted. At this point, I have advanced and restarted my computer. Only, it wouldn't start at all. I got the Windows installation disc and crossed to repair your computer option. It took forever for a kind of diagnosis, but the started computer. My desktop background was black and a folder with my files was missing. I have received a message that my activation code is not authentic or valid. I tried to restore the computer to an earlier time, but that would take forever and doesn't not work even in safe mode. What can I do now?  I barely understand anything in this area. Thank you!

  I was finally able to do a system restore and validate windows. However, all my files, including photos and important documents have been removed. Is it possible to restore these? And is there anything else I should do to prevent it happening again?

• Under disk cleanup, there is an option to compress old files

  Under disk cleanup, there is an option to compress old files.  Office folklore says that problems come from compressing the files.  Mythology like that change slowly and often does not upward with the reality.  What is the current conventional wisdom on all dangers associated with compressing files?

  Personally, I don't compress files and probably never - if necessary, I'll just get a bigger hard drive (or another hard drive or an external hard drive).  As long as compress you only the correct files (not your files start or something like that), I guess it is quite - safe, but they take longer to open - not much, but some and depends on the size (they need to decompress) practice is always a risk, when something like this as a form of bribery occurs (which is us back to the old mythology (, but the risk is generally considered a minimum and I do not want to exaggerate - but there are).

  Opinions vary among experts and you'll get to the other end of the spectrum.  Some will tell you it is perfectly safe and a good way to save space on your hard drive.  Others take a middle path, and say that they are not positive, but think it's safe, but acknowledge that there are exceptions.  You can see some reactions like the one posted here.  As I said, I personally willnever do (with the exception of some files can I compress for e-mail or because he is great and I expect never to need again, or for other reasons - but they would have been individually selected and completed for a purpose {and using a different program]).  I mean I would never use the option of the files old drive generic cleanup compress to do a little overall with no individual selection (and when I do it with an individual file, it is rare - I probably didn't do so in more than a month - and to be perfectly honest, when I compress a file to send by e-mail I have everything first make a copy and compress the copy and keep the original uncompressed).  I have also seen here situations where people have compressed their files to start with virtually everything else, and this caused them a lot of grief - this isn't an easy repair process and the system does not boot with compressed files (I don't know how they did it-I just saw the messages, but no unread discussions - but if there is no chance that the compression of disk cleanup) been involved (and I'm not, but I did not read how it happened and so I guess it's possible), then it's just another reason for me to stay away).  As you probably now, I don't really have confidence the process (maybe I still have some as old folklore Office in me as I've been around when firstly, he came out and got all these problems) and would rather spend the money on a large or second hard drive what to compress my old files.  I prefer not to take any chance that I don't have in my data which are valuable for me.

  The process is availalble and is generally considered reasonably safe when used properly - but not a lot of experts I know do.  It is MUCH safer than when it came out.  When suggest us ways to save space on the drives for those who have little space and do not want to upgrade or get a new one, it is rare to see someone suggest compression as one of the options (I never do).  We suggest many other alternatives, but I never see this option underlined or specifically suggested (although it may be included as an option in the process we propose you like disk cleanup - and I don't specifically discourage its use is if you heard what I'd say if specifically requested).

  In the end, the decision is yours.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
