• No sound on my laptop after disk cleanup and defragmentation

  Hope someone can help me,

  I did a disk cleanup and defragmentation on my laptop today, and after it was done, I found out that I have no audio whatsoever.  It was working fine before the disk cleanup and defragmentation, but no more.  Accidentally delete the audio?  If so, how I would get this back?

  I am a novice computer, so technical terms will go over my head.  Any suggestions?

  Hi IrelandJr14,

  Method 1

  Visit the below link and run the available audio Troubleshooter and check if this solves the problem.

• Disk Cleanup appears randomly * solved *.

  We run Windows XP on some jobs here. Whenever I use my laptop disk cleanup appears and works on both my C (OS) and D (data) readers. He appears to be an automated process that it scans the files, then disappears very quickly. I already modified the registry to disable the disk cleanup on disks with small footprint (even though none of the drives are low on space) it. This seems to have solved the problem on my Windows 7 machines. I erased all the tasks in the Task Scheduler. It tends to get a lot worse once connected to the network and even worse when it is connected through the VPN. It happens almost to the point where the computer is unusable because it keeps flashing these messages to the top and steal the focus. I used Tweak UI if at least it does not my typing away the program I use, but it still flushing and is embarrassing. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  I read somewhere that, in some cases, disk cleanup opens and begins to act as it did for me after, installs Office 2010 which turned out to be defective. We use a system of distribution of the package called Marimba which says installation failed (although the Office worked very well). I uninstalled Office using Marimba and then forced a policy update to reinstall. No disk cleanup message more. I guess they made things worse when the network/VPN because our 'packages' resident on dedicated servers and Office attempted to repair itself in the background, or the installation and has had a problem of localization of sources.

• Flow 11: Disk Cleanup Windows 10 Stream

  Just finished the installation of Win 10 on my Stream 11.  Had to remove most of my programs to make enough space to run the upgrade.

  In fact I decided to run Disk Cleanup to try to regain space. I thought that because I would be able to use HP recovery I could delete the partition hidden also.

  Starting with clean disk, including files cleaning system it has identified about 14 GB, which could be deleted, but after the race, it just seems I won, it was about 1-2 GB of disk space.

  That's happened? Why didn't a win space identified by the own drive?

  I have not deleted the hidden restore partition but as I want to be sure that everything will be OK after I do it. Am I correct in believing that the 7 GB of hidden space is recovering files and factory settings I can use more since I am now under Win 10?

  Hello @RogerM-Ohio,.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I came across your post about disk cleanup and he wanted to help!

  I wouldn't delete the Partition Recovery, simply because you are currently using Windows 10.  If you encounter a problem in the future and necessary to restore the laptop to factory settings, the recovery Partition will be very useful.  Otherwise, you would need a recovery media.  If you insist on deleting the recovery Partition, then you make a copy first.  Please consult the following documents to help you, if necessary:

  HP computers - create and use a Microsoft recovery USB drive (Windows 10)

  HP computers - create a recovery Image on disc or save a recovery Image on a USB drive (Windows 8)

  Hi Jess, this article will be may be of interest:

  That explains how to unzip the files (if all goes well, they're still on your system). It is not a feature I used with XP.

• 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:

  http://download.CNET.com/CCleaner/

  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.

• Should I delete "by user pending windows error reporting" in disk cleanup?

  Hi, I'm using Vista Home Premium and this is my question.

  'by user windows error reporting pending"on my performances of more than 16.5 GB so disk cleanup I think delete. I checked the forums window says it's a bug and will mess up my data if I did. But the answers were pretty old (2007-beginning of 2009). My laptop is just upgraded to service pack 2. So I don't know whether or not this so-called bug has already been fixed. Should I delete it or just leave it there? Will it continue to grow if I don't do anything? I read some messages and some said that it has increased to more than 100 GB.

  Thank you.
