Quick question about extended disk clean up

I downloaded the extended disk clean up shortcut, right clicked, ran as administrator, had all checked except for setup log files as strongly suggested, clicked ok, it said it was calculating the space I would regain by cleaning, it went straight to cleaning without showing the amounts in each checked section, and finished. I ran the utility to see about the error bug in reporting the size of the amounts as discribed and wanted to see if I had this bug to worry about. Why didnt the disk cleaning utility show me the amounts found in the locations and ask me if I wanted to go ahead and delete all the files? anyone?

Hi Blaydrnnne,

The Extended Disk Cleanup will not show you any sizes. Instead it just gives you the option to clean them or not without any confirmation.

To be able to see the sizes, you must use the normal Disk Cleanup instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

That would be the only way to tell. Since you already cleaned them and did not have problems, then you would not have that problem.
