Delete Temporary Files using Disk Cleanup Utility in Windows. Cleanup, Previous Windows installations. Installations/Windows.old; Make Disk Cleanup Tool.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics () Whenever I open Disk Cleanup, it says it is calculation how much space I will be able to free up. Which is normal. But the actualy calculation/scanning either freezes up or will continue to scan until I exit it and I have never gotten past that window to actually use the Disk Cleanup.

It takes 99 of my CPU usage so that the CPU usage is at 100% while it is caculating. It will remain this way until I exit it. Does anybody know how to get past this so that it will only take a little while (a guy I know said his only takes about 60 seconds.)?? I have never been able to run the actually Disk Cleanup because of this problem. Please help!!

But, you can delete all the files in the directories in the Content.IE5 directory with the DOS DEL command. Create the following BAT file replacing the DIRnnnnn demo names with the directories contained in your Content.IE5 directory. Replace Owner with the user name. Cd Documents and Settings Owner Local Settings Temp Temporary Internet Files Content.IE5 cd DIR00001 >NUL ECHO Y DEL *.* >NUL cd.

DIR00002 >NUL ECHO Y DEL *.* >NUL cd. DIR00003 >NUL ECHO Y DEL *.* >NUL cd. DIR00004 >NUL ECHO Y DEL *.* >NUL exit Note: When the first CD command executes, Content.IE5 is the current directory. The subsequent CD commands include. To go back up one level to get back to the Content.IE5 directory.

Save this BAT file in case the problem ever happens again.
