Windows 7. When using the built-in Disk Cleanup there is 763MB in Debug Dump Files. No matter how many times I try to remove them, they remain. Any ideas?
Thanks, Acadia

Have you tried running Disk Cleanup as an administrator?

There are several ways to do this, personally I use... Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools, right click on Disk Cleanup, select Run as administrator.

Another method is here:

Mystery solved, I think. Disk Cleanup has a second option/feature called "Clean up system files". When I click on that, the Debug Dump Files appears two times. When I ticked BOTH of them, this time the cleanup worked and the 763MB disappeared.
