Compressed old files - help

(1/4) > >>

Flame:
Hello all. I just went to run a disk cleanup, and it says I have 3,276,894 KB worth of Compressed Old Files. I checked to box to delete them, and let it clear tghem out, but they won't go away! What can be causing this? I am using Windows XP Home, and have virus/Spyware protection which is up to date...  Is there a manual way to clean them?

try it in safe mode.....system restore maybe hanging on to this files

Flame:
Is there a folder where these are stored that I can just clean out? Should I turn off system restore and then clean?

Flame:
Hhhhmm... Ok... I'll give that a shot  :-/  I hate having to use safe mode though... Scary thought... I'll give it a shot tomorrow when I start the system... Thanks
