Running the Disk Cleanup Utility in Windows 8

Sometimes, inbetween uninstalling and reinstalling software/drivers, it is a good idea to run Windows Disk Cleanup Utility. The Disk Cleanup utility helps free up disk space by deleting unnecessary files from your computer.

Disk Cleanup CPU issue - Windows Module Installer Worker

I have a brand new VM running on ESX 5.5 U2, OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition, i have installed Desktop Experience.
The OS is up to date. Whenever i do a Disk Cleanup, the CPU is at 100% usage in Task Manager, the Windows Module Installer Worker process is taking all the CPU resources. It only happens when i run the Disk Cleanup wizard.

This one may help.

How do i run the disk utility to repair permissions:confused;

how do i run the disk utility to repair permissions
i think i hav the same problem as you all iv been
restarting and deleting and renstaling but nothing seems to work
the only thing i havent don is this repair prmission
thing can someone type some instuctions on how or lead me where to
go

are you using mac OS10.2 or later?
if so, this is what I did to solve this most frustrating
problem. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities
In the Disk Utility window, click on your hard drive, make
sure you're in the First Aid tab, then click on Repair Disk
Permissions.
Once the permissions were repaired, I took the advice of
another user here on the forum and reinstalled Flash Player 6, as
it was the one that was working before I tried to upgrade and it
screwed everything up.
Hope this helps

TS2986 I keep getting the message that my HD is full, when I run the disk utility it appears that over 400 GB are in the "Other" section, how can I access that area to clean up?

Please help me to figure out how to clean up my HD. When I run the disk utility I get the following view:
As you can se 467.79 GB are in the "Other" section, but I cannot find a way to get to that and clean it up, please anyone out there How can I clean that up?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

My computer is shutting down before fully booting up. I am running the disk utilities program and have this message: Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk . . . disk, and restore your backed-up files. Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
Or you can't boot from it when you do?
You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.

My machine was patched to date 10.x.x. I was lucky to get an internet connection and I selected the option to re-download Lion... its curruently being downloaded. What if that doesn't work?
Any thougths would be appreciated.

I recently purchased an HP officejet 6600 and whenever I put in the disk to install the printer nothing pops up. How do I run the disk on my 2011 MacBook Pro?

I recently purchased an HP Officejet 6600 and whenever I put the disk in to install the software nothing happens. How can I run the program to install it and get started using my printer???

You should be able to go to HP Web site and download the installer. It sounds like you got a bad CD.

Time Machine Backups external drive developed problem which the disk repair utility cannot fix, so suggested reformat. I can't reformat because the "Resource Busy". How can I reformat this drive?

My Western Digital external hard drive which I use as a Time Machine Backup stopped working. I tried repairing the disk using the Disk Utility program,but got the message that the utility can't repair the disk and to erase and reformat the disk. When I try that, I get the message the operation can't be completed because "Resource Busy", even though Time Machine is turned off. Any suggestions for repairing the drive/disk?
Thank you.

I can't uninstall Firefox(3.6.3) either through the control panel or by going to Program files/Mozilla Firefox/Uninstall and running the helper.exe, I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)

I simply want to uninstall Mozilla FireFox 3.6.3. I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

Hi Guys,
I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
(READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
'''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
- quick step guide for this:
select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
'''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
- AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
'''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
'''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
'''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

can anyone help me clarify my doubt plz

That would occur if either the content type in the header is wrong (e.g. it is not text nor image, those content types with which the useragent used is associated), or if you have set content disposition in the header to attachment instead of inline.
So, doublecheck the headers.
