I assume it is safe to delete, but should I do something with it first? Should I for example be kind to Mircosoft and send all that queued stuff? How would I do that?

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. This applies to both Windows Vista and Windows 7. share|improve this answer answered Jun 8 '09 at 9:28 Richard Slater 2,81322242 Are they used for anything? Can I use them for anything?

Depending on the configuration, found in (Vista: Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Problem Reports and Solutions > Change settings > Advanced settings) windows will periodicly download a file which it will compare the crash data with and then notify you if it finds a solution.

Learn how to use the feature in Windows 7 and 8.x. By Greg Shultz | in Windows and Office, January 19, 2014, 12:27 PM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Image: iStock/kynny Disk Cleanup's new feature called Windows Update Cleanup is standard in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and was added to Windows 7 by an windows error reporting update that was made available in October 2013. 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 Library (DLL) files with the same name as files already on the system. These duplicate files would wreak havoc with applications and the operating system. For example, an application would look for a specific version of a DLL file, but find a newer version that was recently updated by another program. Since

Disk Clean-up is reporting that per user queued windows error report is taking up 5.7 GB of space on my primary boot/app drive. Its a 120 GB SSD, so space is at a premium. I initially turned to Google but got a wide range of conflicting reports (its safe to delete/deleting it crashed my system). Further complicating things a lot of the results discussed Windows Vista (Im on a Win 7 machine), and a lot of results had no date. When it comes to general technical questionsparticularly when there seems to be a conflictI trust the Dope. Id clearly back up everything and set a restore point, but thats not a panacea and Id rather not have to fix if I can avoid breaking something. So, is it safe to check the box in Disk Clean-up and have it delete the report? Rhythmdvl View Public Profile Visit Rhythmdvl's homepage!

I don't get that particular option, but that's probably because I've disabled error reporting entirely. That feature bugs the hell out of me and, as you point out, it chews up disk space for little to no benefit (IMHO). Assuming that's what we're talking about, then yes -- any option the cleanup utility gives you is going to be safe to use. At least inasmuch as it won't harm the OS or any installed applications. But obviously if you delete, say, the service pack backup files, you'll no longer be able to uninstall said service packs/patches. I can't imagine why an end user would ever want archived error reporting data after the fact, so I vote for nuking them. Edit: And for that matter, I see no value in holding on to service pack backup files for any length of time. Maybe for a week so after each "patch Tuesday" just in case one of them causes unforeseen problems But once you've been running a patch long enough to verify that it isn't going to give you trouble, there's usually not ever any good reason to uninstall it.
