Cleanup Debug Dump Files?

[RickO'Shay]

Hi to the group,
I have noticed when I run Disk Clean up that there is an option to delete
Debug Dump files and another option to delete Compress Old files. There is
a total of 696,042 kb to gained by doing this. Can anyone tell me if this
ok to proceed with and any consequences of doing so.


TIA,

RickO'Shay.

Debug Dump files are, in my opinion, worthless to the average user.
It is safe to delete the Debug Dump files.

[Compress Old Files - Windows can compress files that you have not used
recently. Compressing files saves disk space, but you can still use the files.
No files are deleted. Because files are compressed at different rates, the
displayed amount of disk space that you will gain is approximate. An Options
button permits you to specify the number of days to wait before Disk Cleanup
compresses an unused file.

Rick.
