Guest Ken G. Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Yes I know that there's lots of people in this forum who say forget about Disk Cleanup, but I have a question. There's many references to using cleanup for deleting windows temp files, but the content of this folder displayed by cleanup is always zero. Why is this when there's about 5mb of junk in there?

Guest JS Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Cleanup question Three votes for CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies, temp files, auto complete and other junk. In the 'Windows' tab listing check the item types you want deleted. Also available is customization, see Options/Custom to add any other/additional folders you want files deleted from. http://www.ccleaner.com/ JS "Clark" <Clark_throwaway@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:Gixpi.172$EG2.79@newsfe04.lga... > Plato wrote: >> =?Utf-8?B?S2VuIEcu?= wrote: >>> >>> Yes I know that there's lots of people in this forum who say forget >>> about Disk Cleanup, but I have a question.

Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Cleanup question This is because Disk Cleanup does not count files that have been modified/accessed in the last 7 days.
