• 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)

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

  original title: disk cleanup and delete temporary files

  I am a novice computer person, I need to know if it is allowed to run Disk Cleanup and remove temporary files, who says that some programs store information in files temp, not temporary internet files, I know that I can remove those, also the debug dump files, and system error memory dump files?  Can I remove these without all the problems that occur?  Thank you

  Hi twittles9

• 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.

• 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.

• I have a 45 GB hard drive which gives a msg of disk is low, but can only account for about 15 GB used. Run Disk Cleanup, but it did not help. I'm looking for why the drive is full?

  There is nothing huge load on the computer.  No photos, no videos and some documents.
  Even displays hidden files and still no explanation.
  Working on SP2... not enough space to install SP3.

  Download and run JDiskReport: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/index.html

  This will show you what files take up space.

  You can run the disk cleanup tool (start > run > cleanmgr > OK), but if you still get low disk space message, I suspect that it's your System Volume Information directory.

  You must "show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" to see this directory, but it isn't something to mess with casually and the system normally will prevent you to do so.

  The IVR directory includes the restore points created by system restore and the database of indexing created if you let Windows index your drive.

  If you have not changed the default, the system restore will take up to 12% of your drive hard or about 5.4 GB of your 45 GB drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html as fill you the disk, the system restore can produce some of its space, but, in doing so, it will generate these warnings "low disk space".  If you're curious, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300044

  Windows XP provides a feature called the "Indexing Service" which can speed up the file searching in some cases.  As a general rule, speed is not overhead, both in system for indexing resources happens in the database index files that take place in the IVR directory.  See, for example, http://lifehacker.com/#! 031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp

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

  After the computer restarts, repeat steps a through d for the other volume and then check if the disk cleanup works.

• 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).
