System Errors OK to Clean??

    Ok, my latest "lesson" shall be: is it safe to "Clean" (via Windows Disk Cleanup) "System Error Memory Dump Files" (of which I have "89.3 MB"),
    and "Windows Error Reporting F..." (Files?) of which I have -

    "Per User Queued 3.58 MB"
    "System Archived 60.6 KB"
    "System Queued 7.58 MB" ?
    Can I remove/delete/"Clean" these out safely?

    I have had some problems (obviously, huh?), but I wouldn't know what to do with all these files, I have turned-off Windows Error reporting (because, well, I've never seen any results from that [from MS] since I first really became involved in `02), and well, I think having them hanging around may be slowing my PC down (?).

    Currently, after a recent System Restore, the PC seems to be going "ok", other than moving a little slower than usual.

    Thanks in advance.

    If these show up in the built-in Windows disk clean-up, then yes, they are safe to remove. Windows disk clean-up would not list things that are not safe to remove.

    These files created by the computer when it crashes or "blue screens" These are only useful if your computer has crashed and you are having a technician examine it. Most of the time they just eat up disk space for no good reason. No problem with deleting these.

    Wasn't trying to copy your post. You got there a split second before I did. I knew I should have gotten the high speed cable! :)
