• 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.

• 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.

• The disk cleanup hard disk, property Page is missing

  My button of disk cleanup on the property Page of all the hard disks on the general tab is missing for centuries.  Short of a reinstallation of Vista Ultimate x 86, we might want to know how can I get it back?

  Disk Cleanup works through other options available for the throw, but I miss my button, everyone has seen?

  I still have my representable pattern pink and blue used and free space on the drive, just no button.

  To the wire when I tried most of the troubleshooting steps based including SFC/scannow, ChkDsk, Msconfig, Safe Mode, different users and a few others, I probably forgot to mention, and does not.  There is a lack of information on the various web sites that I visited on this small inconvenience.

  Hi Linney

  Try this.

  Right-click on the Recycle Bin on the desktop and select Properties.

  If you do not have the Recycle Bin on the desktop, open Windows Explorer and look for him at the bottom of the Navigation pane.

  Recycle bin properties, make sure that the drive letter of the System Volume is selected. (Usually c :))
  If you have the 'c. do not move files to the Recycle Bin Option to remove files when they are immediately deleted"selected, and then select the other option. Click apply/OK.

  Check the results on the properties of drive of the volume.

  I hope this helps.

  How to compress old files? When I run Disk Cleanup, the compress old files is checked, but the cleaning does not remove the 13, 464KO here. How can I get rid of this?

  Hello

  Compress old files

  • This option, which is the only option that does not remove the files, compresses the files on the operating system that have not been consulted after a certain period of time. The files are not deleted, but simply compressed into a smaller size since they are not used and are accessible by the operating system if they are needed once more.

• 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.
