After fixing the previous issue with 638mb lefover , now I have a new problem , these files are unable to be deleted by disk cleanup.

Anyone else have same problem as me?

Any solutions/workarounds?

Tried Wise Disk Cleaner but it doesn't remove these files.

1. Check ALL the boxes in Disk Cleanup
2. Run Disk Cleanup
3. Run Disk Cleanup again.
4. After two runs, you should be down to 3-4 MB left over.


For example...

Yes... it's still bugged. But it's a fairly minor bug.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 13 years?
By trial and error I have found that doing repair install via WINDOWS UPDATE followed by Diskclean will eliminate redundant data. The proof to me was size of Macrium when compared Option one to Option two.

    …still on a horse.
190MB is not really a problem unless you have a very small drive. Even with only 64GB it represents just 0.29%.

I managed to cleanup 1 mb of storage space using this method.
