Disk cleanup - System error memory dump files
Unless you are attempting to diagnose the cause of the problem, it is safe
to let disk cleanup delete these files. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) wrote in message ... Is there something useful to do with System error memory dump files, or can I safely tell Disk Cleanup to delete them? Robert Miles |

Disk cleanup - System error memory dump files
As Jeff said. *AND* Make a note of the disk space shown for WER logs in the
Disk Cleanup window.

Robert Miles Looks like I deleted then too soon - after I deleted them, a function for sending error reports to Microsoft was unable to send error reports for some recent problems in a search function because it couldn't find the appropriate files. I couldn't diagnose the cause of the problem myself, but would like to have Microsoft do it for me. Robert Miles |

If the problem is one that MS is likely to look at, then it's going to happen again. You can delete these error reports (if they aren't already gone) in Control Panel \ System & Maintenance \ Problem Reports & Solutions \ See Problems to Check. Right-click and choose Delete. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) |
