Re: Cant remove downloaded program files
OK...I have run Vista Disk Cleanup twice now, after anticipating problems when "Per User Queued Windows Error Reporting Files" showed ridiculous sizes after a complete backup. For instance, the disk recovered showed amounts larger than my disk (237 GB on a 160 GB disk). When I viewed the files to be deleted, they were in the Downloaded Program Files folder in windows.

On easch occasion, the disk clean up destroyed my hard drive and told me that intelide.sys was corrupted. Even after a repair, I had an unstable system with only some of my programs and data.

I used my system disks to boot to recovery and restored the complete system.

But I am confused. The item in the Disk clean up for error reporting files points to the Downloaded Program Files and the contents are damaged and cannot be deleted. I have tried every thing.

Help! Please!
