Guest Sirius Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Disk cleanup It does not get that far. I mean it freezes before the "what to clean" options screen appears.

Guest John John Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Disk cleanup Is that on the machine that is full of spyware and virus? If so get rid of these pests before you address this issue.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Disk cleanup Sirius, Can't you clean the machine manually the first time? Example: Open Internet Explorer TOOLS menu | INTERNET OPTIONS & click the delete COOKIES/TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES Close IE Then START | RUN & type %temp% & press ENTER Delete all of all that you can from there Now, go back one level & clean the HISTORY folder Next go to the WINNT\TEMP folder & delete all the junk from there too Lastly, the Recycle Bin If you have the .NET Framework 1.1 installed then this simple utility will clean most of the above locations (except HISTORY folder) in one button click http://www.crouchie.net/downloads/jc.zip It will speed deletion up for you -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Sirius" <anyone@some.net> wrote in message news:uNBli.7110$CJ4.2202@trndny08... > Yes, indeed. > > "John John" <audetweld@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote in message > news:e9A$P%23OxHHA.4516@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > > Is that on the machine that is full of spyware and virus?

Guest Sirius Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: Disk cleanup The thing is, that a lot of files refused to go, even in safe mode. But I managed to get them later with CCleaner, like instructed by Maximus the Mad http://www.freespaces.com/maxwachtel/removal.html Thank you.
