disk cleanup

[Guest Hugibear]

When I run disk cleanup from the properties menu it hangs up when it gets to

the "old scandisk files". Whaat can I do to get it to run properly?

First, click Start> Settings> Folder Options> View tab, and click to enable "Show

All Files" and click OK.

 

Next, click Start> Find> Files or Folders.

Choose to search the Local Hard Disks, or the C:\ drive.

In the Search box, type:

*.tmp,*.chk

and click Find Now.

 

(That's asterisk dot tmp comma asterisk dot chk)

 

When the search is complete, select all the listed .tmp and .chk files, by clicking

the Edit menu> Select All; then click the File menu> Delete. Then delete them from

the Recycle Bin.
