yes - you can clean/delete temp/excess files and
cookies - by 'routine' - noted further below - and
note
this is most likely the msg ref - and some other helps
you might use - ie

defragmentation needs 15% free space to run and it is
good idea to get in habit of 'routine of running'
chkdsk.exe/checkdisk/first
then defrag
then delete temp files and cookies
and should keep your disk clean and org'd
examples fyi and use - ie
a/
i/
gui ver - in tools
go start/right click - my computer/open/
go right click - local disk/properties/
go tools tab/
go 'error checking section'/click - 'error chk now'/
click on - 'both options' - on dialog box/
ans 'yes' - to sched reboot/
reboot
ii/
command line ver - in command prompt window - ie
open 'command prompt window'/
go - enter 'chkdsk /f' - on command line/
note ans 'yes - to sched reboot'/
reboot
iii/
then you can run 'defrag.exe' - ie
note
use same section/page as in 'a/' above - ie
go start/right click - my computer/open/
go right click - local disk/properties/
go tools tab/
go 'defragmentation' section/click-'defragment now'/
and
b/
you can get results of 'chkdsk' - ie
go start/control panel/perf..and maint/admin tools/
go event viewer/application log/
go - scroll to winlogon/ go open/




and take it fr there
