Is It Safe To Delete System Error Memory Dump Files Windows 7
Postedover 8 years ago Options RSS Share Should I delete 'System Error Memory Dump system error memory dump files location Files'? Posted by Ken A. Dienne on 15 Apr 2008 19:58 Hi: When I run disk cleanup in Vista, it comes back with system error memory dump files disk cleanup lots of different temporary files that I can delete (it 'ticks' them by default). However, there are some big areas that disk cleanup doesn't tick, for example, 'System Error Memory Dump Files', which is over http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2096098/system-error-memory-dump-files-safe-delete.html 500 MB in size. My question is - should I tick this for deletion when running disk cleanup? Or should I just say 'OK' to whatever Vista has ticked by default and leave the other areas alone? Thanks!Ken A.
