Disk Cleanup cannot clean up drive

• an automatic disk cleanup will clean all user profiles

  We have a couple of departments which are 24/7 and every shift computer shares.  There are well more than 10 active users this connection to each of these machines.  This is obviously not ideal configuration and system offset is widespread, even shortly after image.  Unfortunately, I am not able to implement the major changes for these departments as a whole, but at least, I would like to find a way to maintain the systems function properly these guys here.

  would it not possible to run the cleanup utility to drive as a daily scheduled task so that it would be clean all profiles on computers, not only the current profile? * preference, will be little or no user interaction.

  users are not likely to run themselves (even with instructions) and reset all passwords to open a session manually for each of them is not only difficult and time consuming, but would cause more problems than it solves.

  so in short, we need something that can function, automatic or manually, which will wipe the WHOLE - all profiles of school boards - drive connected with admin account.  I hope that schedule a task to run the complete cleaning of the drive is the answer, but none of the research I've done today has been spent on this aspect in detail.

  suggestions, tips, welcome to miracles.

  / Thank you very much

  Clear cache files will be only to make the computer slower, more bandwidth allows to re-download and repopulate the cache.

  It will cause your computer is slower and your bandwidth to be used more, but if you wish, you can probably just set your browser temporary empty files when you exit.  Whenever you visit a page to re-download the image/script/code active once again, but if you have a fast connection and don't care about the lag, that's fine.

  As for the help of a cleaning program: it will clean all that he has access to clean. So, in a typical scenario, the task would need work as an admin account, so he has access to all profiles.

  Addressing your question, the disk cleanup cannot free a lot of space if you liked - it varies the amount of temporary files are on your PC. If it doesn't increase disk space, it is not a major problem.

• CLEANING THE DRIVE SYSTEM

  Whenever I browse the system disk is quickly exhausted or shrinks. How can I free up more space on this drive? My hard drive is 500 GB, the drive system takes 80 GB; Now, it has only 100 MB of free space. I need about 20 GB for effective performance; Bright clues?

  Hello

  You'd be surprised how many people ignore disk cleanup and cleaning of the new system file... Some people also navigate a large NUMBER of graphics, that can use a ton of temporary space.

  Recently, I came across something that at least sometimes, indicates that this is related to the indexing of research essentially going nuts... The file out of control seems to be... C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb...

  This file is located in an area that is locked, unless you have changed the Ownership\Permissions of the files, but you should be able to access the DATA and to check its file size to see if it is the culprit...

  If so, here are some links with more info...

  http://superuser.com/questions/59864/stopping-Microsoft-Search-from-eating-my-hard-drive

  http://windows7themes.NET/what-is-Windows-edb-can-i-delete-it-or-change-its-location.html

  There is another file for Windows that can do as well... I'll have to look for the info...

  Also... Your Windows\TEMP folders will only be cleaning after seven days. Which may or may not be what that suddenly erased.

  A new feature has been added to cleaning disc in October 2013, which is not available in cCleaner. You must change the existing settings to take advantage of the new feature. Type Disk Cleanup in the search above the Start button box and press ENTER. Click OK and after the calculation of space, you will see a window with a list of files to delete. Use the right-hand scroll bar to see the entries hidden further down the list. Check the boxes in front of the backup of the Service Pack files and cleaning of Windows Update and click OK you will see savings every time after Windows has been updated, but they are not as important when it is run after the first time. You must restart the computer to complete the process.

  cCleaner is an alternative tool / extra:

• How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive? Almost complete. Says "low disk space". Thank you in advance.

  How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive?  Almost complete.  Says "low disk space".  Thank you in advance.

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  Follow a few basic maintenance note.

  1.5 the tool provided in Windows to remove unwanted temporary files is disk cleanup. To access this tool select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. You must then run Disk Defragmenter.

  1.6 using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

  1.7. If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  1.8. a better alternative program to disk cleanup is cCleaner. The freeware version works well for a home user and must be downloaded from Piriform program provider:
  http://www.CCleaner.com/download

  1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

  1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

  1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

  1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

  1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

  1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

  1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

  1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude.

• Cannot download disk cleanup

  opening firefox, I received a popup saying I was running more disk space and click on the ball to fix. I had cleaning disc, but after a few minutes, he said he was unable to download and to make sure no other copy of firefox was running and restart firefox.

  I tried it and no luck

  Help, please

  I'm not running XP at the moment, but I & others I know have sometimes leave much fuller than the recommended hard drives.

  I think that probably 20 to 25 percent of space would be recommended and defragmentation IIRC is impossible, in about 15% of free space.

  Not sure I remember the updates warn guests to download for downloads and you may need to be wary of this incase you download malicious software.

  This isn't really a specific problem of Firefox.

  A few tips

  • Can unload you all of the large files and folders at least temporarily somewhere else maybe for CD, Flash drives
  • do you normally hibernate, stop making it frees the file hibernation, which is the size of you RAM
  • IIRC XP as standard has you can use cleaning options see

• 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).

• 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

• When you use disk cleanup, drive D C and recovery should be included?

  When you use disk cleanup should you clean disk (C) operating system, and the recovery disc D. Then on drive c must only choose th files that are already enabled as the downloaded programs files and temp. Internet files or you need to clean more options?

  Do NOT run the cleaning or do anything at all on the recovery D: drive.   Do not add files, defragment, compress, chkdsk, or something else.  Let completely alone.

  Insofar as what to remove NSB C:\ drive, this decision is entirely yours.  You can add or remove options as you seem, and that you feel able to make - do as much as you can in these settings.  More your cleaning, the more you'll be available and, in some cases, it can even run your computer to start, and stop faster.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
