disk cleanup

Is this normal? My disk cleanup shown me a 257GB of files to delete on my
80GB disk. I haven't local network and no external disk. I am using vista
home premium with sp1, but this problem was without sp1 too.

I attached link (for better understanding) to picture of cleanup.

The image is not password protected. You need to register with The
Hobby Lounge and create a username and password for yourself.
I would suggest you do this if you are interested in acquiring some
nice, functional gadgets.

Mr. Srinivasan,

I have never experienced this problem. However, I decided to read your
article concerning this issue so that I would know how to deal with it in
the future if I was presented with this problem.
My knowledge is miniscule compared to yours but I think you are correct
in your assumption that this issue was caused by a registry cleaner. If so,
this is just one more reason for inexperienced users to stay away from
registry cleaners.
I appreciate the assistance you have given many users and I sincerely
respect your decision to do so.

C.B.
