Hey, just tried this, but because I am on a laptop, when I remove Hibernation Files, it also disables hibernation on my laptop, so I have to go back to CMD and enter “powercfg /hibernate on” (without quotes) to let my laptop hibernate again… Is there any way to add a second command to do this automatically after disk cleanup closes?

You can do the same for another program (like CCleaner, or Defraggler) but in command, type the location of the item.

not sure why exactly, but on my system (vista home premium), the command switch needs to be
” -d%1″ (no quotes; space between cleanmgr.exe & the dash included). “/d%1″ resulted in an error message. ah, vista; oh, microsoft….

the amount of space i have on my disk seems to be spiralling downwards and yet i AM CONVINCED I HAVE less on my pc than ever-i get the feeling the indicator does not pick up on all that is deleted.For over a year I went along happily showing 10-12gb as being available-recently this has dived to 6.4 average.

Just use CCleaner; it’s vastly better anyway.

@beep54. This problem seems to have been solved with SP1. If you know otherwise, please feel free to email me.

BTW has any one else experienced this goofiness with Disk Cleanup?
