You can ty removing temp files like this: 1. Open My Computer 2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example) 3. In the context menu that opens, select properties 4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup 5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes 6. A box will display the various files you can remove. Check all boxes except compress old files (If listed) 7. Click OK and windows will comply. Log looks good :thumbup:
