Is it OK to run Disk Cleanup and remove temporary files?

• Disk Cleanup stalling on temporary files for more than 3 hours and eat memory!

  So, whenever I checked my C drive I get different numbers on how much space is left. I deleted 45 GB (sent to remove trash and Perm.) data I didn't need and I always as much as before, if not less. I then tried to run the disk cleanup for that drive and it keeps blocking on "files temporary scanning", which since more than 3 h and no other programs other than windows base and Trend Micro are running and system keeps using more memory. EX: below

  RAM used: 3.1GB/4.0GB

  cache in the processor (i5): 4.2mb/7.7mb

  CPU usage has been the use of 80-90% during this period

  Frequency Max CPU is 109%

  This all started a few days after a windows update.

  It is using 25% CPU usage... as to what it is I don't have any idea. I've used it before and it scanned in less than 45 min.

  Anyone have any suggestions to correct the program that is not responding?

• Disk Cleanup, it removes only the photos and/or videos?

  It should not.  Disk Cleanup only removes temporary files, etc.  If you want a clean more thoroughly, you can also include system files.

• My XP desktop seems to have thrown my 'system tools' function and I want to use the disk cleanup and defragmentation... How to get back the system tools?

  My computer is as I said above a desk with the microsoft XP program and is a little less than five years.  It has been slow and it dawned on me that I hadn't used the disk cleanup or some defrag for a while, but I clicked on start, all programs, accessories, System Tools was is no longer.  I have not been able to access the disk cleanup or defragment option and hope that out there, can someone advise me how to get this feature.

  You can run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter disk since the start > run box by typing the following

  Cleanmgr
  Dfrg.msc

  You can restore all of the 'Accessories' group (including system tools) by following the directions here--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

  Or you could just create shortcuts to

  C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc
  and
  %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

  Note that % SystemRoot % is the directory where Windows.  You can use this form or explicit as in the example for the shortcut from the Defrag.

  Cannot install updates because there is no place! MSG error code: C8000710. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-C290, 1 GB of RAM. My computer is running slowly, sometimes that he will not allow Firefox or Chrome to open at all because of plugins or inadmissible. Also since the installation of itunes, I can't burn a CD. It acts as the fire but just runs and until I have stop. Said that the drive was full, which is not the case!

  Click on start - all programs - accessories - Run and type
   
  % temp %
   
  Delete all the files.
   
  Click on start - programs - Internet Explorer, then click on tools in the
  Toolbar - Internet Options general tab - and under browsing history click
  the Remove button and then click on delete files. The other options here make
  almost no space.
   
  This will free up a fair bit of space.

• Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter Hangs

  The DISK CLEANUP and DISK DEFRAGMENTER freezes when it COMPRESS OLD FILES

  Agreed - you must remove the option compress old files:

  Compress old files comes from the good old days, when hard drives were weak and slow, and he had to each byte, you can get on your hard drive for programs and things.  Today, thanks to modern technology, it is almost superfluous.

  If you want your cleaning disc to run faster, I would just remove the option compress old files on XP because it is known to crash or give the illusion of being hanged.  If you have 1 million files on your system, you'll wait a long time and your system may appear to be hung (maybe that's really).

  I really don't think that with the technology available today that compress old files is necessary.  It would have been slow you if XP needs unzip a file.  Besides, nobody seems to be able to tell me at what age an old file is in the XP terminology... what was simply a file become old?  I just remove this 'feature' and never see him again and my disk cleanup runs in a Flash, since it doesn't have to search for old files to compress (some old way).

  It is a 'problem' for some systems that Microsoft made an article on how to disable it (mine is disabled)

• Get a disk space low message even after running Disk Cleanup

  When I get the message insufficient disk space, I go to disk cleanup and choose the option to delete files before the last restore point.  Nothing happens.  The files are not deleted to free up space and I keep getting the message.  Any help?

• Is this ok to remove temporary files with the disk cleanup?

  as I checked, temporary files takes about 30GB of space on my drive. I am currently using windows 7 Home Basic. I'm trying to free up some space on my laptop coz, it's been slow lately. It will improve the performance of my laptop? Thank you! responses are much appreciated.

  'about 30 GB of my disk space "

  It's a bunch of temporary files. Even 3 GB would be enormously, but yes, you can leave

  Disk cleanup deletes some Temp files it wishes. Cannot remove files that are used.

  Disk Cleanup is actually rather conservative in what it removes. I often deleted a large number of

  Disk Cleanup files left behind.

  Update of Windows and the service pack files may use a lot of space. Especially if disk cleanup

  has not been executed on a regular basis.

  Disk Cleanup can also remove these files, but if there are recent updates, it may be safer to wait

  you know that they cause no problem.

  If you haven't defraged the HARD drive for a while, doing so should also help speed things up.
