To delete everything you dont need, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Disk Cleanup. This will do it all for you including your very unneeded cookies. This will not delete anything you need.

There are two easy ways to delete unwanted and unnecessary files. Right click internet explorer icon and click properties. This will give you a dialogue box. Click general tab, if necessary. Click on the appropriate buttons to clear cookies, history and downloaded files. Or, open 'my computer', right click the appropriate drive (usually c:/) Click the general tab and then the disc clean up button. then follow instructions. Remember, these options may vary slightly, according to your OS. This can take a few minutes. Also try defraging your drive. Click start, all programs, accessories and system tools. Click on disk defragmenter. OS's vary, but you basically click the button that says 'defragment' or defragment now' or something similar. Depending on you hard drive size and condition, this can take some time. (even hours-possibly overnight.) Some OS's give you options about checking the disk for errors, but this will drastically increase the time it takes. However if this hasn't been done for a while, I advise doing it. Hope this is helpful. if you run into difficulties, let me know. It can be a bit daunting if you've never done it before.

I am having difficulty wiht my clean manager. In the past, when I used it, it took several minutes before I got a message with the go-ahead request. Lately, however, I can run the thing for hours without it ever ending. For instance, it is running now and has been for about 5 hours. Shoudl I leave it on all night? Has anyone else encountered this? HELP.... please!!!
