To my surprise I saw 2 items in the list that http://superuser.com/questions/224393/is-it-safe-to-remove-per-user-queued-windows-error-reporting were quite large (both ~300MB). Per user queued Windows Error Reporting System queued Windows Error Reporting I guess I had never noticed these, because they were never that big. So, what are these items? Any particular reason why they became so large all of a sudden? And finally, is it safe to remove them? windows-7 windows disk-cleanup reporting share|improve this question edited Dec 24 '10 at 12:08 Matthieu Cartier 3,1741334 asked Dec 21 '10 at 9:11 Rewinder 245248 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted They're just part of the error reporting system that reports application errors and the technical information surrounding them to Microsoft (the main user interface for this is the dialogs which appear when programs crash saying that "X encountered a problem and needs to close"). 'Queued' just means that it contains error reports that haven't been sent yet for whatever reason, and as such have been stored locally on your hard disk, waiting to be sent. They are both safe to remove. share|improve this answer answered Dec 21 '10 at 12:16 Matthieu Cartier 3,1741334 Thanks for

In the 'disk cleanup' on Vista is it safe to http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/regain-hard-disk-space-by-using-windows-update-cleanup-in-windows-7-and-8x/ delete 'downloaded program files?' (wouldn't that delete the programs as well)? In the 'disk cleanup' what is - and - is it safe to delete 'per user archived Windows error reporting'? 'per user queued Windows error reporting'? 'system archived Windows error reporting'? 'system queued Windows error reporting'? Thank you for all of your help.

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 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 system queued windows 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.

If I needed to, I would delete that stuff. But Justin has a good point: it is probably not worth the effort - and then the Disk Cleanup program is not kosher anyhow.

Learn how to use the feature in Windows 7 and 8.x.

The Windows Update Cleanup feature is designed to help you to regain valuable hard disk space by removing bits and pieces of old Windows updates that are no longer needed. I'll take a closer look at the Disk Cleanup tool and then focus on the new Windows Update Cleanup feature. As I do, I'll give you a little background on the Windows update leftovers that this tool is designed to eliminate. Note: Disk Cleanup and the Windows Update Cleanup feature works the same in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. This article applies to all of those Windows versions, though all of the example screen shots are from a Windows 8 system. The WinSxS folder If you used the Windows operating system back in the Windows 9x days, you're familiar with the term DLL Hell. This situation arose when you installed different programs that included updated versions of Dynamic Link Libr
