  • Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

    The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

    I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

    I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

    Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.

    "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

    When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
    contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
    a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
    crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
    file.)

    Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
    to get rid of them.

    Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
    Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
    see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
    installed, glorious detail.

    If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
    was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
    These files as well.

    On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
    standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
    The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
     
    Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
    software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
    for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
    criminal to find you.
