Disc Cleanup

[denmarfl]

Running Vista Home Prem\32bit

Ran Disc Cleanup....several entries displayed that I have never seen in the
past;
1) Per User Archived Windows error report...
2) Per user Queued Windows Error Report....
3) System Archived Windows Error reporting....
4) System Queued Windows error Reporting....

What are these entries? The total data of all 4 almost are a full GIG of
drive space.

Does this data at some point automatically get deleted?

Can they "all" be safely deleted? Some and if so, which ones.

Those are just error reports accumulated by the Event Viewer and other
error gathering programs. If you don't need them, they can be deleted.

I have been running this PC for a year and I know with everyday use the Event
Viewer will record errors.... I have run Disk Cleanup monthly...and yet this
is the 1st time I have seen these entries....why would that be?

 

[Questor]

Perhaps the log files just reached a certain level within Vista and
"spilled over" into actively asking for removal. If you say "Yes" they
might not show up again until next year.

Shawn:

I wasn't aware of that bug, but from the OP the files totaled "almost a
full gig". The jpg's show every one of them around 65G each so it might
very well be that he doesn't have the bug. Good catch, though. I've
got it down in my book.
