Disk CleanUp not totally cleaning. ( it did originally )
Hello all. Nice to be here.
I have an issue with the Disk Cleanup.
Backround:
1. I had 8.1 and downloaded 10 successfully.
2. I do all updates manually DAILY. Without fail
3. Disk Cleanup was working properly. I would run and then rerun and have basically nothing in the files that have just been cleaned. DC worked as it should for 2 weeks.
4. Now, when I run it I always have files uncleaned, the bulk of which are in “ Temproary Internet Files” and “Temporary Files”. Total file size is 7-15 MB.
5.When I check the folder "IE" (IE, last folder in the below path) by clicking the Disk Cleanup “VIEW FILES” I see a .dat file “container.dat”. The file is empty, size is 0 K. The path for the above is: AppData>Local>Microsoft>Windows>INetCache>IE
6. I have "show hidden folders and files" selected as well as "show operating system files" enabled. Without this enabled I would not see the “container .dat” file.
7. I reinstalled the OS from Microsoft via download twice. This did not correct the problem. I did not do a complete install I kept my files and settings via that option during the download prep.
8. I did not install any new programs prior to this occurring.
As a note from day one I noticed that I do not appear to have the Windows 10 Disk Clean Up. I do not have the “Compress Files” option that 10 has on its Disk CleanUp utility. I wonder if this is available only from a media purchase of 10?
Any Ideas folks?
Thanks, Juice
