Question Cant delete all of web client publisher temp file
Ok, this is the deal...I did the disk cleaner several times and it still wont delete the 40,764KB. I would be very happy if I only had 32KB but that is not my case. Can you please help me fix this problem cause it is using way too much space.

Restart the PC . . as soon as it starts to load, tap F8 repeatedly, about twice a second and you will get a menu that includes starting in safe mode . . it may take longer than regular mode so be patient. . once it has booted in safe mode, try deleting the file

I have been following this thread for a while and it seems to work. But now, after installing sp3 somehow I have problem restarting winxp afterwards, it kind of stalled, and I have to reboot into safemode w/ last good config.
