• OS Windows vista 32 bit home edition Options more than Disk Cleanup doesn't give me any more disk space when used, y at - it update?

  I need help with disk cleanup, please.

  Note: If you try to free up disk space, Disk Clean-Up is not the only way to do it. Ask if you want more ways to clean up your drive diisk.

  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.

• No option to compress old files in disk cleanup

  I have a laptop running Vista and I'm under low disk space so I wanted to compress my old files usinf the disk cleanup option, but when I run Disk Cleanup it has no option to compress my old files.  Can someone shed light on where the option is gone and if I can get it back. Thank you

  You can compress the selected files and folders using this method: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/102504-compress-folder-file.html

  Compression of the Windows system files can cause problems. Some file formats are not compressed because they are already compressed. For example, jpg and mp3.

• 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)

• 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.

  Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the public on the TechNet site. Please post your question in the below link: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsserver

• Under XP, while doing a disk cleanup, get a message "files required for windows runs properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.

  While doing a disk cleanup, I received a message "files which are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.» To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition now. "and I did not... I can restore it online?

  * original title - windows file protection *.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

  Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

  When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64005
  Description:
  The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

  As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

  For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.

  When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove personal information from your information
  After having stuck if you are forced to do so.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• 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.

  Hello

• Under disk cleanup, there is an option to compress old files

  Under disk cleanup, there is an option to compress old files.  Office folklore says that problems come from compressing the files.  Mythology like that change slowly and often does not upward with the reality.  What is the current conventional wisdom on all dangers associated with compressing files?

  Personally, I don't compress files and probably never - if necessary, I'll just get a bigger hard drive (or another hard drive or an external hard drive).  As long as compress you only the correct files (not your files start or something like that), I guess it is quite - safe, but they take longer to open - not much, but some and depends on the size (they need to decompress) practice is always a risk, when something like this as a form of bribery occurs (which is us back to the old mythology (, but the risk is generally considered a minimum and I do not want to exaggerate - but there are).

  Opinions vary among experts and you'll get to the other end of the spectrum.  Some will tell you it is perfectly safe and a good way to save space on your hard drive.  Others take a middle path, and say that they are not positive, but think it's safe, but acknowledge that there are exceptions.  You can see some reactions like the one posted here.  As I said, I personally willnever do (with the exception of some files can I compress for e-mail or because he is great and I expect never to need again, or for other reasons - but they would have been individually selected and completed for a purpose {and using a different program]).  I mean I would never use the option of the files old drive generic cleanup compress to do a little overall with no individual selection (and when I do it with an individual file, it is rare - I probably didn't do so in more than a month - and to be perfectly honest, when I compress a file to send by e-mail I have everything first make a copy and compress the copy and keep the original uncompressed).  I have also seen here situations where people have compressed their files to start with virtually everything else, and this caused them a lot of grief - this isn't an easy repair process and the system does not boot with compressed files (I don't know how they did it-I just saw the messages, but no unread discussions - but if there is no chance that the compression of disk cleanup) been involved (and I'm not, but I did not read how it happened and so I guess it's possible), then it's just another reason for me to stay away).  As you probably now, I don't really have confidence the process (maybe I still have some as old folklore Office in me as I've been around when firstly, he came out and got all these problems) and would rather spend the money on a large or second hard drive what to compress my old files.  I prefer not to take any chance that I don't have in my data which are valuable for me.

  The process is availalble and is generally considered reasonably safe when used properly - but not a lot of experts I know do.  It is MUCH safer than when it came out.  When suggest us ways to save space on the drives for those who have little space and do not want to upgrade or get a new one, it is rare to see someone suggest compression as one of the options (I never do).  We suggest many other alternatives, but I never see this option underlined or specifically suggested (although it may be included as an option in the process we propose you like disk cleanup - and I don't specifically discourage its use is if you heard what I'd say if specifically requested).

  In the end, the decision is yours.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
