Compress old file doesn't get deleted..

I have a very little knowledge of computers and I have this problem where I go and run my disk clean up tool and on the compress old files says 62,456 but when clean up is done it says the same still. how do i fix this problem?

 

I remove the "Compress Old Files" option from the Cleanup applet on any all my family and friends computers. It can sometimes cause a hangup problem if you have some corrupt files that can't be compressed.

It's easily removed and restored by simple .reg files.

To remove the option, copy/paste the following code to a Notepad session and save it as CompressNo.reg:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files]

To restore the option, copy/paste the following code to a Notepad session and save it as CompressYes.reg:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files]
@= "{B50F5260-0C21-11D2-AB56-00A0C9082678} "
 "Priority "=dword:0000012c
 "StateFlags "=dword:00000000

Double click either of the saved files and affirm the action to allow the Registry setting to be changed to either display the option or not, as you like.
