Dienne on 15 Apr 2008 system archived windows error reporting 19:58 Hi: When I run disk cleanup in Vista, it comes back with lots of different temporary files that I can delete (it 'ticks' them by default). However, there are some big areas http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/system-error-memory-dump-files/79e749a7-6267-427a-9fa9-bfa4863aad36 that disk cleanup doesn't tick, for example, 'System Error Memory Dump Files', which is over 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.
