Disk cleanup in a Spanish based Windows XP. Where is it?

[Guest]

Hi!
I've been trying to run the disk cleanup on a PC that has the Spanish
version of Windows XP. My problem is I can't find the option! I thought maybe
the application would be named the same, nope. Also I tried the literal
translation (limpeza de disco),nada again. Not even the built-in Help and
Technical Support center on Spanish XP has *any* information on Disk Cleanup,
it can't find the topic for God's sake! How is this application identified in
Spanish Windows? Please help so I can run it and move on.

Thanks!

Sincerely

Start | Run | Type: cleanmgr | Click OK

Assuming that the filenames are in English, which I have no idea,
cleanmgr.exe is Disk Space Cleanup Manager for Windows or simply Disk
Cleanup.

/es after the KB number in the URL gets the Espaniol or Spanish version of
the MSKB article.

You can type or paste http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315246 into the
Address bar in Internet Explorer and ad the /es to the end of the url and
click Go to get a Spanish translation of any MSKB article.

If you have http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315246/en-us you can replace
the /en-us with /es.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315246/en-us
is the same as
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315246
both will be in English.

You can also click on Article Translations on the right of any MSKB article
and select Spanish.

Open My Computer, right click the drive in question | Properties | Disk
Cleanup
