Make sure I don't have the disk clean up bug?

I went to run disk clean up, and in the Windows Error Reporting section I have over 60 gigs of "data". Anyway,I thought that was wierd so I looked into it, and found out there was a bug. But I got the registry fix from this site, and that didn't change anything. Also I checked my registry editor and it looks like it is all there. How can I make sure I don't have this "bug" that deletes my OS? Thanks guys.

Disk Cleanup Windows Error Reporting Bug Fix

Yea I did that... as I said in my post. But I still have the 60 gigs in there. =/

So I'm just trying to figure out what is wrong? Or if there just really is 60 gigs of junk in there? If so how do I disable the feature that creates these files, for the future.

Hi Helltech,
Did you restart the PC after doing the fix?

Also, I ran disk cleanup on my PC and i had 602mb in mine for Windows Error Reporting section. I deleted mine though. They are diag files that are used to debug crashes. They should not mess up windows at all. I have deleted mine bunch of times and no issues.

Yea I did restart after doing it. Guess I'll do it then.

Just 60 gigs is so big, heh.

So how do I turn off feature that collects those files?
