When I run Disk Clean Up, the item Webclient/Publisher Temporary Files always
shows 32kb of files that can safely be deleted but they will not disappear
when I tick the box. How can I clear it please?

Hi,
Open a run command and type in:
services.msc  click [OK] on the services control panel locate this service
and disable it.

WebClient   < double click it and disable the start option.

Reboot your machine, then run disk cleanup, does it help?
HTH.

> Hello nass. Thanks for that. Well it got rid of the item alltogether and after a disk cleanup and reboot it did not appear but when I disabled it in services I got a message warning me that some web functions would not now perform so I renebled it and blow me, when I came to disk clean again it had re-appeareared with the original 32kb of temporary files. Does that mean that the 32kb are perhaps essential temporary files that do not increase?  It has always been at 32kb since I first used the computer several years ago.

That's normal to have 32KB for webclient Cache, i will not be worried about
this as long as other temp and compressed files are cleaned your machine not
likely to be junked.

OK nass. Thankyou. I can live with that. I have also just spotted another
posting on this forum started by "cyborwanderer", which gives a lot more
information if anyone else is interested. Thanks again. Brian
