In disk cleanup, i got 4 "error reports": - Per user archived Windows Error Reports - 1,04 MB - Per user queued Windows Error Reports - 331 MB - System archived Windows Error Reports - 6,55 KB - System queued Windows Error Reports - 26,1 MB Is it safe to delete these? I've been to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ ReportArchive %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ ReportQueue %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArch ive %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueu e And there is files there. I've also checked the registery: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\VolumeCaches and the folder paths seems to be right. Reason am saying this is because, I've heard people have had their fear share of problems with deleting these so, i just have to ask. If everything seems to be okay, can i delete these files at a regular basis? -- Nitrius |

Hi Nitrius, With those sizes it will be safe for you. It is only a problem when they are huge GB sizes. Since you have the 64 bit Vista, be sure to also fix the Disk Cleanup shortcut. This tutorial will show you how to. 'Disk Cleanup - Correct Shortcut for Vista 64 bit' (http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/87...ta-64-bit.html) Hope this helps, Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* |

I wish I'd read these tutorials earlier. I had deleted the *System and per user queued Windows Error Reporting Files*-GB sizes - without fixing the bug (because I didn't know there was one) but my notebook is still running. What is likely to go wrong now? Thanks -- bluesalt |

Hello Bluesalt, If you had the same sizes for all of the items in that were in that tutorial above, then you should backup anything that you do not want to lose to a separate drive or partition in case you experience problems from this. If it was just for that one item you have listed, then you will be fine. Hope this helps, Shawn bluesalt;1041542 Wrote: I wish I'd read these tutorials earlier.

Thanks for your help. Will take note of your advice and follow through with earlier tutorials the next time these files get to GB size. -- bluesalt |
