    Delete Crash Dumps


    I followed the tutorial here: Create Disk Cleanup All Items Checked Shortcut in Windows 10

    and in fact Disk Cleanup does come up with all items checked, but I see no listing for crash dumps (if one even exists in Disk Cleanup).

    So I started looking around and the only folder I could find with crash dumps was here.

    Can these files be deleted? Not an issue actually, but the longer this "isolation" goes on the more things I find to mess with on my laptop. If nothing else it helps pass the time between meals.

    Those dumps related to Malwarebytes and others can be deleted.

    If the computer is running low on free space consider these options:

    a) Download and install Ccleaner > this should make cleaning easier
    Clean & speed up your slow PC | CCleaner Official Website

    b) Run through the options in this tutorial:

    Thanks for the replies zbook and Steve C. I had (long time ago, prior to Avast) used CCleaner, but after all the press/issues decided to uninstall. The "Free Up Drive Space in Windows 10" seems pretty extensive, so I'll read through that. Lots of good stuff here, some you find on your own, some you get pointed to, so thanks again.

    I'll also take a look at Wise, they seem to have a pretty large following and if I don't like the cleaner I can always just image back with Macrium Reflect.
