Manual Disk cleaup

[scr0p]

I cant run disk cleanup, It says compressing files and just takes really long (actually never ends, I left it on for hours). What do I manually delete? I empty out temp internet files, what about Content.IE5 folder? It has a lot of old sites and index.dat is big..

What is your OS ?

[scr0p]

XP pro sP1

Hmmm , did you try unchecking HD Compression and running Cleanup again ??

[Pirate]

Don't forget to delete system pagefile . It takes at least 150MG (I hate this file )

[scr0p]

Where do I uncheck "HD Compression"

[Pirate]

Right click C:\ partition and uncheck "Compress drive to save disk space" (at the bottom)

[scr0p]

that is not checked. when I run disk cleanup it says 'compressing old files' on the bottom right, can you tell me what disk cleanup deletes so i can just jsut manually delete them.

1-Delete system pagefile as it takes about 150Mb (depending on your free space)
2-Do a search on your system partition for all temp files like this (*.tmp) , and delete them .
3- Delete files in History and Internet temporary files (if you suppose to)
4- Delete all chk files (*.chk)
5-Empty Recycle Bin .
Those tips hopeully would superscrub you hard drive for better performance !
