deleting unnecessary files without buying software. is it possible a free way

Dido is possible

I understand that you want to remove unnecessary files. What is considered as unwanted files varies from one person to another.

However, Windows XP includes a utility that identifies and allows the removal of the files that are widely considered to be useless files.

To access the utility:

1. click on the Start button

2. click on run

3 type "cleanmgr" (without the quotes)

4. click on OK

After running the utility, a list of unwanted files is returned. In general, unless there are special reasons, it is safe to leave checked the following:

-Temporary Internet Files

-The Office installation files (the files needed are on the installation CD)

Hope this helps

  • "You sure you want to delete the file without moving it to the Recycle Bin? In response, 'No' causes the file to be left undone.

    Separated from this thread.

    I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.

    Indeed. Make the truecrypt as removable disk volume in options of fixed the problem :)

    The suggestion did not work for me.

    I use Windows Home Premium and Truecrypt 7.1.

    When the volume is "removable", an attempt to delete causes the prompt, "do you really want to delete the file without moving to trash? In response, 'No' causes the file to be left undone.

    When the volume is not removable, an attempt to delete causes, command, the prompt "you want to move the file to the Recycle Bin?  I clicked 'Yes' the file disappeared from his record, but was not visible in the trash, even if the trash appears to have contained.  By clicking on "All content, restoring" the trash, has no effect.

    Basket of content used to be visible and restoration-able.  I recently opened some volumes on a drive not used for several months.  Other that that, I can't say why the trash behavior has changed recently.

    Suggestions appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Colin

    I suspect it has to do with the size of the 'file '.  When a file is larger than the preset size of trash, your options are to delete without moving to the trash.  No way that you do not want to delete it without moving it to the Recycle Bin, but if she's great that recycle it bin it cannot so it just happens.  If you say yes it removes without moving to recycle.

    You can change the size of your trash by right click > properties > change size

    Hi chrism43238735,

    May I know the process to convert Doc to PDF files. If you use Acrobat to convert the files, and then with the same application you open.

    If you used another process, in this case try using the Adobe Acrobat Reader application. Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

  • deleting unnecessary files

    * What are the safe & reputable sites are there to remove unnecessary files and registry errors? I used to use AVG which has a set of performance that analyzes and corrects the above. But AVG missed it when I was whacked with 3 virus. Which has been corrected long ago. Anyway AVG was uninstalled and replaced with Microsoft Security Essentials. Since the abolishment of AVG, my GBs slowly use, makes me think that the registry errors and unnecessary files are piling up. I use CCleaner, but don't think it cleans everything that has accumulated. So if anyone knows a site safe and reputable which removes these questions, I would be grateful the info.*

    Hello

    CCleaner is as good as any one to eliminate the unnecessary and temporary files. I do not recommend its register

  • Cannot delete the file without the playlist name in WMP

    Original title: mysterious activity in Windows Media Player.

    Hello. Last night, me and my brother noticed something strange on Windows Media Player on the profile of my brother. On the "Playlist" tab, there is a mysterious entrance which was just a jumble of numbers. We couldn't access, so we removed. My brother thought it might have been the result if a failed backup of a selection, but I'm not sure.

    Then later, when we looked more deeply in the 'Playlist' of WMP box, we found a file without a name, we are unable to remove. It doesn't even look like a file. If you view them in the form results 'list', as she disappears. I tried scanning WMP with Norton, but he could not find viruses.
    Is there a problem here? Thank you.

    Hello

    I understand that you can't remove it without file name found on "Playlist" area of WMP. I understand the inconvenience.

  • The safest way to recover deleted music files - without the risk of my computer.

    My daughter deleted inadvertently about 200 songs from the computer hard drive... is it the software file recovery from Microsoft or from an outside source who would not compromise my Vista operating system, or other data of non-musique lost?

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • If I delete amd should clean drive, deleting all files I buy Windows XP again?

    As I'm having a lot of problems with some points I did not and have not installed and do not know how they got in my system, I'm using a recovery disk to remove all make up the main drive.  If I do this will I have to buy Windows XP to return to the place where I want to be?

    Hello jadaone,

    The answer is no. You will not have to buy the Microsoft Windows operating system again.

    You will need to reinstall all of the programs that you put on the machine after the fact, however.

  • Remove unnecessary files from my drive F to get the free memory.

    My computer tells me that I'm running out of disk space on my drive 'F' and I need to delete files safely. I ran the first register the controls of the space, but my computer says that there is nothing to remove.

    "There is another option that says 'Other Options', but I don't know what are the files I can delete safely drive"F"

    Describe how your hard disk is partitioned. The operating system is on the C: drive usually - but not always-.

    For example, list all your partitions, how big they are, what they do, and how much free space is on each. Oh, also, in case you have unallocated space on your hard disk, indicate how many there are.

    To get this information, follow these steps:

  • Defrag results found 110 GB of files fragmented 149 GB of capacity - if I delete these files?

    About a month after an automatic download, my XP system was out of memory.  I couldn't run defrag because there was not enough free space. I moved well enough to defragment files & this resulted in 110 GB of fragmented files.  112,768,540 KB are Yahoo crash logs files.  I can't just delete these files?

    Hi Cathyhahn,

    Accident of newspapers is generally used by programmers to find out why the program crashed.

    Their default location may be different depending on the operating system you are using.

    Yahoo crash logs is usually generated by the e-mail application that can be found on:

    The documents and Settings\user\application data\yahoo\companion\crash newspapers

    You can delete these files without doing any damage to your system however do not delete the folder itself.
