i almost got bit by this personally and i would have been pretty steamed http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/serious-disk-cleanup-problem-caused-by-broken-registration/ quote:Note the last line which states that the Disk Cleanup will recursively search the entire volume for the list of files mentioned in the FileList registry value (*.* wildcard used in this case) and include everything on the volume for deletion, if the DDEVCF_DOSUBDIRS flags is enabled (which is enabled by default).

Disk cleanup on windows 7 is a joke – not only has it deleted the registry keys specific to my manufacturer of laptop (gateway) it has wiped my product key and the temporary files linking the slic key to the product key.. I have a config file with all keys for all manufactueres for win7 ultimate it wont take any – I cannot re run the upgrade option from setup either wierd cannot read image error is displayed… I shrank my 250gb volume to allow another insytall on the seperate partition and stillwont accept my key that I have used fine for 3 years… I didnt see it had ticked remove system restor file either and now im goosed… what a joke microsoft!! create utilities that at least warn u it may affect system settings and config u clowns!!
