• WHAT IS THE BEST DISK CLEANER FOR A MIDDLE-2O12 MACBOOK PRO?

  I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch (OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.2). Up to 8 GB of memory, I improved last month. The processor is Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz. It has a 500 GB hard drive and I have about 417 GB of free space available.

  I would like to know which disk cleaner would be the best for me to use? I read on CleanMyDrive 2 and I want to know if it is really as good for Macs as they say it is.

  None. Your Mac runs the maintenance in the background for you. The so-called Mac utility for cleaning can cause more harm than good on a Mac. Avoid them.

• I could remove these items with my Disk Clean Up?

  What would be in temporary files, Internet files temporary Client/Publisher, compress old files, the catalog for content indexing files?   Could I removed these items using Disk Clean Up.  I already removed temporary Internet, Recycle Bin, the files offline web sites. I have a Windows XP home edition.

  You can, but use with caution.  Some may be necessary.

  Unless there is a compelling reason (and you have a back up), I wouldn't.

• access to the files compressed after disk clean

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 SP3. Two nights ago, I ran Disk Clean Up and Defrag to improve speed. I used compress old files for the first time. Tonight I tried to access certain personal records and documents and they went. When I run a search for them, they are not accessible and are moved to the folder of My Documents and Settings or gone completely. I can only assume that this is due to the use "compress old files". How to access these compressed files?

  You say that you are missing a lot of files and folders...

  Compressed file always appears in a Windows search and will be in a default blue color.

  If you think the specific name of some of the files you are missing or part of the name, see if they find themselves in a search for Windows and if they do, where they are.  Adjust the search with more advanced options and tick the boxes in system folders search, search hidden files and folders, hidden files and folders, and search subfolders (this way it will look everywhere).

  Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the desktop, then the (Local Disk (C). assuming that XP is installed on your C drive

  Below, you should see the Documents and Settings folder, open then, and you will see a folder for each user on your system (and perhaps some that you do not recognize).  Each user has a folder under Documents and Settings.

  Double-click the folder associated with your user name (for example, Andrea) and you will see a My Documents folder that belongs to you.  Look in here and see what you can see if you understand how it works...  Look in my pictures, my videos, my music, etc and see if you see one of your items.

  Then go back up to the Documents and Settings folder and open the folder associated with the next user (even if you don't recognize it) and look in the Documents folder for this user (for example the Documents of Jose) and search there and see if you can locate your missing documents.  Repeat for all users folders Documents and see if you can find your stuff.

  I can't imagine what happened to your stuff, but thinking that perhaps your XP user profile has been corrupted somehow and when that happens, XP login with an account that works will record and you get connected, but this new account will have all the documents in it since they'll be in the Documents folder for another user whose profile corrupt (maybe).
  If this is the case, you can fix it, but you should see if you can find your stuff first.

  Anywho, use Windows Search to search for specific files or even wildcards as type names and see if you can determine if the files are actually missing or are just in other places when you are looking.

  I use the word "stuff" a lot today for a reason but that is my style of back.

  Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

  SFC system gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonceor sfc /scanboot orders to repair its contents.

  http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-SFC.html

  To do this, simply go to the box run in the Start Menu and type:

  sfc/scannow

• Do I have to select delete using Disk Clean-Up to correct the winsxs problem of scanning.

  I know this question was asked by many and I tried different patches. (File Checker system, the disk cleanup - but do not know what that should be deleted that it can fix) Do I have to select delete using Disk Clean-Up to correct the winsxs problem of scanning.

  The only thing I'm wondering: what is the cause of the accident of the Winsxs folder while scanning?
  As stated in other threads, winsxs folder causes the scan hangs any scanner is used. Is it because of the size of the folder? What is a particular problem in the folder?
  The file it crashes on changes each time and that makes it more difficult to identify the exact problem.

  If the problem is directly on the winsxs folder and not the compromised computer with virus, malware, etc... There will be a fix to it by Microsoft? Or if the problem is not related to the Microsoft Windows software?

  I just want to be sure that the crash of the scanner is not due to viruses, software, malware or any other infection.

  Hello

  No it resets just the Windows Components update, do not recharge updates.
  See the information on the links. Just to make sure that other resources
  as the registry are configured correctly to allow the update. It is '' possible. ''
  that an update can be reapplied after running but this is rare and not
  probably for more than a few. New click the link for more information.

  Personally I have not use the clean tool component if the choice is
  your. Run the reset and first of all to see these help.

  ===========================================================

  Windows component clean tool

  The component of Windows Cleanup tool (COMPCLN.exe) allows you to delete the files that are archived after Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2 is applied. It also removes the files that were archived after Windows Vista SP1 has been applied, if they are on the system. Running this tool is optional.

  Installation of service packs of Windows Vista increases the amount of disk space used by the operating system. This space is used to archive files so that the service pack can be uninstalled. As a general rule, you must run COMPCLN.exe if you want to recover this disk space after applying SP2, and you won't need to uninstall SP2. After you run this tool on an image, you cannot uninstall Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2.

  This tool can be used online or offline.

  Option	Description
  /? or /h	Displays this list of command-line options.
  cent: [chemin_repertoire_windows_hors_connexion]	Specifies the path to the Windows directory of the Windows partition in offline mode.
  / quiet	Runs in quiet mode. No console output is provided.
  / Hide	Hides all packages (service pack) that are cleaned.
  verbose/Verbose:	Provides additional diagnostic data in the log file.

  Important
  Once completed, you will not be able to remove Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2 from the computer online or offline.

  I hope this helps.

• Cleaning applications

  Why are bad apps cleaning with a mac?

  Whay are you from another thread? I already told you, they are not necessary and that they do more damage than good. Applications of clean, especially my Mac (better known as the brick my Mac) will sometimes 'clean' to the file system and slow down your Mac to a crawl and at worst to best makes it completely unusable. It is not Windows, you don't need the third undesirable person, that you need with windows, OS X knows how to take care of itself without third-party applications.

• Why does take so long for disk cleaner to calculate

  am running windows xp;  the calculation window is there forever;  I do not know how to solve this problem and don't even know if it is broken.

  If you mean the XP 'Disk cleanup' seems to weigh and take forever, I offer these tips:

  When you run Disk Cleanup, it calculates how much space you could save on your HARD drive if you want to compress files "old." No one seems to have a good answer for what XP thinks is an old file... and with technology modern it isn't going to be a lot of improvement of your disk space and in fact, your system may operate more slowly, because it can need unzip these files when they are needed later.

  It is simply not a good idea to let XP compress your files 'old' (any old way seems to be not specified).

  If you have 1 million files on the volume XP thinking maybe brought to compress and it will check all, it might take a while to understand this and your system may appear to stop responding.

  Sometimes users interpret this as a problem with their system (and stop or restart), but Windows is just doing what you said to do.

  It can also can really be hung since MS also tells you how to stop this check for compression of files in an article in the knowledge base (perhaps they don't like it no more).

  If you have no interest to compress old files or it is just too long, you can skip this calculation quite disk cleanup (a good idea).

  You're going to be cleaning up your system in no time when this check for files that may need compression is removed.
