Can I delete the following using Disk Cleanup, and the PC still run ok??

Haven't got time to format etc at the moment!

Windows > WER > Report Queue

Its taking up 18.3GB on my SSD.

I've Googled, just want confirmation from the good old OcUK guys and it may help a few here too...


Edit:

  • System archived Windows Error Reporting: Files used for error reporting and solution checking with Microsoft. If a program crashes these reports are sent to Microsoft for a solution on fixing the problem. You can delete these files because they’ve been sent to Microsoft.
  • Per User Archived Error Reporting: Same as System archived Windows Error Reporting, but on a per-user basis.

Ok to delete, might as well keep it here to help others free up some SSD space!

That's a huge amount of errors. What issues are you having or have you resolved any issues? Best to sort it out first before deleting.

To be honest, not really having any issues that occur on a regular basis I've no idea why it was so big.

I've deleted it now, but instead of getting rid of 18gb of it, it only deleted 8gb? Weird.
 
Rebooted, didn't return the full 25GB though? Nevermind.

Similiar-ish type of question seen as I am trying to free up some SSD space...

Wondering peoples thoughts on PageFile and if it is ok the have located on the SSD? Have 16gb of ram and a pagefile of ~16GB...

Keep the pagefile on the SSD, but I think I'd reduce the size of it. I have 8GB of system RAM in my PC, and the pagefile set to 1GB. Had no issues.
 
I moved mine, but that was just personal choice, make sure you have hibernation switched off properly as well if you don't use the feature, will gain a similar amount of space.
 
You really need to look into why you have 18Gb of errors.
That is a truly insane amount, watch over the course of a week and see what accumulates.
In a six month period, I got a few KB in the same box.
