Windows 7 Home Premium Disk Cleanup
I have used the Disk Cleanup facility for the first time for OS(c). There are two items listed amongst the possibilites for deletion, each with 189Mb listed as capable of being deleted but which, in practice, refuse to delete. I select these items, press OK and then instruct to delete when the little window pops up. It seems to go through a deletion process (a progress bar appears) but when I go through the Disk Cleanup process again to check that the files have gone there they still are. These are:-
A. System error memory dump files.
B. Debug Dump Files.
I haven't a clue what these files are or whether they are incapable of being deleted. The description of these files in the Disk Cleanup 'box' seems to give no real clue as to what these files are or how they come to be on my machine.
Can anybody cast some light on what I am dealing with. I wouldn't bother except that two lots of 189Mb seem quite large to me and there seems little virtue in having them on the machine if they are not needed.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium running on a DELL Inspiron 560T computer. I have filled in quite a lot of the data of my machine but don't know if others can see this.
