Re: Disc Clean up issue

If you select Disk CleanUp and select C it runs and provides a window giving details of savings which can be made. Use the scroll bar and you will see the item Leah is referring to. Mine says 32 kb. Check the box before Webclient/Publisher and run Disk CleanUp. Run it again and here I find that it still shows 32 kb. I think that is Leah's complaint and I cannot see an explanation.

Where exactly are these files and what are they called? As you're so
keen to be rid of them, what happens when you simply try to delete
them "manually"? (ie by locating them in Windows Explorer, enabling
the viewing of hidden files and folders if necessary, and simply
deleting them)

Thank you Gerry i ran the ccleaner , unfortunately it didn't solve
the issue , although it improved my computer performance. For Olorin
Yes i do have firewall and anti virus . It still has the same amount
remaining everytime as well as a Webclient/Publisher Temp file that
has 32 kb in it also remain , but that i don't care about . It is
just annoying that all of a sudden it won't delete. ??????

Thank you I will check that ccleaner out. I realize it's not much
space being used , and any additional files that get added to it
always delete , but there is always 10,950 kb that will always
remain.I'm not sure what caused windows explorer to do that.I have
dial up internet , and it wasn't connected at the time , and my son
clicked the explorer icon, and it keep searching for a connection ,
i would close the page and 5 more would open , and it just keep
going , it took 20 min to get them all closed. now i mainly run
firefox for my browser , cause explorer just gives me grief..it
won't open, and if it does i can't get it to close . So i don't use
it unless i absolutely have to. "Gerry" wrote:

cCleaner (freeware) which does a more thorough job than Disk
CleanUp. Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user profile, whereas
cCleaner only needs to be run once.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one
has irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer
so that they can easily be re-entered.

The compressed file has never had that high of content , and
always emptied the file when disc clean up was done leaving it at
0 kb , until a couple months ago when internet explorer went
mental and opened a hundred home pages over and over. It had
200,000 + at that time , i got it down to 19,000, then manage to
get the amount down to 10,600 +. Now it is slowly increasing to
the 10,900+ it is now , and will not empty like it SHOULD.

What can i do to get rid of those files ?

You boob... that listing is FOR COMPRESSING older, lesser-used
files, NOT for removing them. Compressing them gains you some
space.
