Hi,

I find when I run the cleaner Analyze, it will say it has something like 50MB to remove, but when I Run Cleaner it only says it removed 7MB (example values only). If I run Analyze again after that is says there is nothing to be removed.

Seems a strange discrepancy. Any ideas?

... I do think though that this topic should be reviewed by the devs to determine what causes the different sizes reported and see if there is a way to bring them closer inline or... Just offer an explanation and use the term 'Estimated xxx will be cleaned...'

That would be nice. I started a thread on the subject at DSLR this morning and another member directed me to this thread, here.

I can confirm the size difference in relation to the WMI log.

Thank you, Disk4mat. I'm not sure if the difference is always that same amount on the Vista box my husband uses or not. As I said at DSLR, the exact amount analyzed is always removed from my WinXP. Hope the moderators here will bring this topic to the attention of the developers, as you suggested. A 16MB difference is too big to be regarded as an approximation.

Just some further information. The section that doesn't seem to match between analysis and cleaning is "System - Temporary Files".

It seems to be no cleaning up files in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp although it lists them in the initial analysis.

That sounds exactly opposite of the situation I posted about. If you follow the link in the 3rd post (mine) above, it shows more files are being cleaned than are being shown in the initial analysis.
