Windows Disk Cleanup

[Stocker360]

Go to "Start", "All Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", and then select "Disk Cleanup". Under the "Disk Cleanup" tab check all the boxes except; "Compress old files" and "Catalog files for the Content Indexer", then select "OK" and "Yes" to perform these actions.

This is the safest way to do it in XP.

I use Disk Cleanup once in a while. It's analysis is slow, but it can clean restore points and offline files.

 

Also, I use ATF-Cleaner on the Vista admin account once in a while. It cleaned 40MB on a machine that CCleaner just ran on.

 

ATF Cleaner download:

It is a standalone executable file. Thanks to the spyware mods for finding it!

I ran it on my new Vista system and it only found 0.5MB to remove and it wisely ignored the Prefetch files.
