You can access this setting by opening the Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and clicking System. Click Advanced system settings in the sidebar, click the Advanced tab, and click Settings under Startup and recovery. By default, the setting under Write debugging information is set to "Automatic memory dump." Here's what each type of memory dump actually is: http://www.howtogeek.com/196672/windows-memory-dumps-what-exactly-are-they-for/ Complete memory dump: A complete memory dump is the largest type of possible memory dump. This contains a copy of all the data used by Windows in physical memory.

Kernel memory dump: A kernel memory dump will be much smaller than a complete memory dump. Microsoft says it will typically be about one-third the size of the physical memory installed on the system. As Microsoft puts it: "This dump file will not include unallocated memory, or any memory allocated to user-mode applications. It only includes memory allocated to the Windows kernel and hardware abstraction level (HAL), as well as memory allocated to kernel-mode drivers and other kernel-mode programs.

I notice now that after I use Disk Cleanup the "Debug Dump Files" system error and "System error memory dump files" are not deleted.

Can I go into C and delete them manually? Should I leave them alone? ??????????????
