Ok, so I thought I was being clever and I found a sight describing the
cleanmgr /sageset command. I thought I would use this to delete "hidden"
items from my hard drive. However, I found that the sageset I created
doesn't work and now some of the options that used to be under Disk Cleanup
are no longer there.
I created a new sageset by typing in cleanmgr /Sageset:1 where 1 is the
number of the set. I then chose the options I wanted to delete, pressed
"OK," a vital step, and typed in cleanmgr /Sagerun:1. This did absolutely
nothing. I know because I have a memory dump in C:\Windows that just stays
there. I even tried deleting the Temporary Internet Files through this
method, but that didn't work. I don't even care about the sageset anymore.
In fact I would like to delete it if anyone can tell me how (I searched the
HD and registry for it, but could not find it). What's more, now options
that were in my standard "Disk Cleanup" i.e. "Debug dump files," "Temporary
Remote Desktop Files," "Temporary Files," are no longer there even though I
know there are files there waiting to be cleaned up. I know I could just
delete the files, but I want to get this to work. What I really want is to
revert back to the way Disk Cleanup was before. I have tried unchecking all
the options in the sage set and rebooting the computer, I don't know what
else to do.
P.S. I am posting this thread again because I believe it may have been
skipped by people thinking it is a "compress old files" problem.
