Report Queue 18GB on SSD! Can I delete?

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.

If not try that.

Yup, logged in as Admin. Now when I go to Disk Cleanup the amount to 'clear' has been reduced significantly but it isn't apparent when I look at the SSD free space.

Perhaps a restart is in order.

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...
