    Disk Cleanup

    Hi,
    Whenever I do a disk cleanup, when it is scanning
    It gets stuck on the system error memory dump files,
    and takes forever to finish the scan??
    Is there a way to speed up this process?
    And make the scan a lot faster?

    Thanks
    Riptorn

    Hi, Brink
    It does not have any errors??
    just that the scan seems to take a long time, that's all
    I just want to know how to make the scan faster
    Hmmm??
    Thanks

    How long would you say that it takes? If the dump files are real large it may take a minute or so to get through them.

    Well, at the end of the scan
    The results are 0 for everything?
    Strange...

    What about if I delete the registry key
    System error memory dump files in the volume cache?

    No, I would not recommend to delete the registry entries for them.
