Whenever I try to run Disk Cleanup on Windows 7 Home Premium, it always says that I have 1.05 G. of system error memory dump files and 1.05 G. of Debug dump files. After I run the Disk Cleanup, and I run it again immediately, those 1.05 of G for system error memory dump files, and the 1.05 G for debug dump files are still there, there is no way to get rid of them, can anyone please tell me if there is a way to fix this problem, or what could possibly cause it?  I have even tried to locate it in windows>downloaded program files but at that location no files are there. I even tried to see hidden files but there is simply nothing.

Dump files are usually located in this folder assuming Windows is installed on your C drive:

c:\windows\Minidump

There may be a file called MEMORY.DMP in this folder:

c:\windows

The Windows cleaner leaves behind lots of files that could be safely deleted.

You might consider another popular free program called CCleaner that you can download from here:

Most people say not to use the registry cleaner option in CCleaner.

If you don't like CCleaner, uninstall it.

I just ran the Windows disk cleanup, then ran CCleaner after and it shows another 454 MB of files that the Windows cleaner missed:

If you install CCleaner at the beginning choose to Customize the install and consider making it look like this:

You can always adjust those setting in the CCleaner options.
