hoping for a answer too

Delete it from the Windows registry. That removed it for me.

I have this problem, too. But I can fix this by delete in registry edit and it work!

thank you. found your fix in less than 10 seconds googling remove downloaded program files objects in vista

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!

If I was you, I'd back up what I could and reformat.

Have been having huge problems with this for over a week, ever since I tried to install a new version of Flash player over the existing one!

But after trying EVERYTHING suggested on the Flash help pages, I've now sorted it - no thanks to those pages however!

Basically to remove these damaged files from the registry you need to go into the regostry, onto the edit tab and click 'find'. Then key in the whole of the filename you're looking for, making sure it's correct. It's long I know, but this does work. Make sure you select the C: prompt on the registry otherwise you may leave some entries in.

Once it's found one, delete it and then press F3 which will find the next entry of the same name. When it finds it check it's right and delete .... carry on til it reaches the end of the registry, and then click refresh on the downloaded program files page - entries will have gone!

Have also sorted out my Flash problem .. so am feeling

yes i got answer from you, thanks
