• Games lost when you perform disk temporary files cleanup

  I did a disk cleanup of 'not used temporary files' on a ' drive.  Free Cell and Spider Solitaire games are now gone.  Under programs > games, I tried to open the program, got a warning message: "Recovery Partition" do not edit or delete files in this area; contains files for restoring your system.   These games can be recovered?   Help, please!

  Hello

  It may be possible cancel for it by running the Windows system restore.  If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you should disable Norton Tamper Protection as described in step 2, on the link below.

  http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20091112171719EN&LN=en_US

  Once you are done, turn off the PC.  Windows system restore is usaully better run in Mode without failure.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Pick a point to restore at least three days ago and then perform the restore - this may take some time.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.  Check if your games is back.

• 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

   

  Yes if you don't need the files for any other purpose or debug information you can probably remove these files from your computer. Please refer to the article for more information and check if this may help-

• Temporary files on disk cleanup

  Is it safe to delete almost 33 GB of temporary files, approved by disk cleanup? Thank you!

  Yes, I would make your system faster as well.

• 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.

• Why cc cleaner and disk cleanup has a huge difference in the amount of temporary file amounts to remove

  C cleaner shows 2 528 KB 307 KB disk cleanup. I guess I have the same amount of temporary files and the same amount appear in places such as the same amount and if I delete them from one place, they would be deleted to another. DOE that make sense or am I missing something that I am sure Microsoft knows where they are and how I.

  If you use two different products (or speaking to two different people) what they are doing can vary depending on MANY factors (what they think/see/feel can vary depending on many factors.)

• Is it safe to delete the temporary files from disk cleanup?

  Hi, I have recently executed drive clean and I find the temporary files is 22.7 GB. But when I checked the tmp folder in windows there only 500 MB of temporary files.

  So my question is,

  Is it safe to delete these 22.7 GB of files using the cleaning disc?

  If your use of the disc in Windows 7 those who are safe to remove clean utility. I use this utility on a regular basis without any problem.

• Message "1152:Error extraction to temporary file.

  I downloaded the software, but get a "1152:Error of extraction to temporary file" message when I try to install.  Any ideas?

  Hello

  ·         What is the free space available on your computer?

  ·         Have you checked if the software has been completely uploaded?

  In the search for this problem, it seems to be related to a lack of free disk space on drive C. If you run low, it can affect more than that. I recommend the hard disks of clutter with the purge

• I can't delete my temporary files from the drive clean, I can't defragment all the c drive, what is my problem

  When I defragment it says that some files can not be defragmented, it said that it defragmate can't all drive c, when I do a disk clean up it only cleans and removes temporary internet files, empties the Recycle bin and compress old files.

• Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files?

  To clear my comp. congestion and help speed up my PC, my ISP told me to put temp5 Prefetch and % and Temp in start-run to delete the temporary files. It's a bit long-winded that each group must be deleted separately. Disk Clean up does not get rid of them. Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files? Thanks Brian

  Delete the contents of the prefetch folder will not help speed things up.  In fact, it will probably slow things down.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/can-i-delete-the-data-in-the-prefetch-folder/c54a8e56-c8cf-451d-a88f-07f06a2f2d54
  I guess temp5% is a typo and you really wanted to say %Temp%.  Percent signs indicate that it is an "environment variable" with the usual value of C:\Documents and Settings\, yourusername\Local Settings\Temp

  The directory specified by %Temp% is, in fact, the directory cleaned by the cleaning of record under the name "temporary files".  Why do you think that disk cleanup is not delete files?  Note that disk cleanup does not remove the files in this directory which came in the last 7 days (this period may be changed by changing a registry value).

  What disk cleanup does NOT, however, is to clean temporary files, files for the Internet browser cache and other files in places of profile-specific to the user of different profiles that you are currently using.  Disk Cleanup also does not delete the contents of C:\Windows\Temp (although it doesn't fill up with very much).  C:\Windows\Temp is the directory that appears when you type Temp in start > run (without the percent sign).  And, of course, disk cleanup will not empty the cache of the browser by non-Microsoft browsers, e.g. Firefox.

  There are third-party applications that make a "deep" cleaning  Some of them clean files of all users without having to login to each profile separately.  Most understand the characteristics that you should not use.

  Here are 2 - there are others, but I haven't used.

  ATF-Cleaner  (do not delete prefetch)
  CCleaner (do not use the registry tool)
