What to do with re-occuring x86 after QuickClean ?

[user_102829]

I don't know about you..but I keep an eye-out for "left-over" files (ones NotRemoved) after using QuickClean.

Usually, my cadre of Left-over's are .dll's and .dll.mui's.

I delete (from C Drive) the mui's.

Recently..I've noticed a NEW cadre..among them, x64 and x86. OK..they're part of the Windows Powershell, BUT just the x86 alone...has frequent "Program files" dated entries listed...each listing at nearly 800MB each!!  Wow!!

If I try and take ownership..I'm denied. Why are (these) just now appearing? My habits have not changed one iota.

Many Thanks.

If I were you, I wouldn't meddle with files you know nothing about, those sound like essential files to me.

What operating system and service pack, if any, is this?

Sorry for my fumbling verbiage..in asking my question; maybe a better question would have been:

Why is McAfee categorizing (these huge files) as Temps?

...and why NOW?

p.s. I realize I probably should be addressing this question to an MS Community, yet I chose McAfee,

because numerous C Drive entries (x86) are/were used by McAfee, itself.

BTW..my McAfee SecuritySuitePlus is supplied by my carrier..Cox Cable.

Windows 7, SP1,

If I'm boring you/wasting everyone's time...just ignore me, please.

Many Thanks.

Well personally I prefer not to use Quickclean to clean the registry (or any other registry cleaner for that matter) as sometimes they clean more than they should.

Windows own cleanup tool is sufficient.  There's an excellent forum here that helps with Windows 7 issues.  It's run by a Microsoft MVP. http://www.sevenforums.com

I feel better. Thanks very much. Ha! Maybe what I really needed was a little Psychotherapy!
