The per-user data is saved to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\wer the system data is saved to: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ THose two folders are split into ReportArchive which is historical reports, and ReportQueue which are reports that have not been sent yet.

The downloaded program files are the .exes that are not needed after installation (a bit like .zip folders after unzipping). And all those error reporting files have only http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-disk-cleanup-questions historic value - unless you want to look up what happened in the past. Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top jd2066 Posts: 3814 This post has been reported. I would recommend against deleting those things. The 'Downloaded Program Files' folder stores downloaded ActiceX controls like Adobe Flash, Sun Java, etc and it's possible you would need to reinstall them if you cleared out that folder. Also I think the 'Windows error reporting' files are using by the 'Problems and Solutions' applet which will sometimes go out and find solutions to problems that are saved so it's helpful. And due to some bugs with the 'Disk Cleanup' I would recommend against using it at all as it doesn't save that much space but can cause many problems if used incorrectly.

WOW - It seems as though I inadvertently asked a contentious question - with 2 replies each with a completely different opinion. Does anyone else have an opinion? Thank you for your opinions.

It's just logs of errors (program crashes mostly) that were reported to Microsoft by the Windows Error Reporting service. You can read them if you want...open "Problem Reports and Solutions". You can find it Control Panel or type Problem Reports into the search bar on the start menu. You can also delete them from there.
