I don't know when Windows was trying to debug the application.ProgramA lot of log and dump are added to errors such as crashes and blue screens. The so-called dump is to write part or all of the data in the memory to a file, so that developers and programmers can view and debug and discover the problem. For example, in System Properties, advanced-startup and fault recovery-write debugging information. Generally, Windows (Win2000 pro, WINXP) of the user version is a small memory dump (small memory dump, 64 K), while windows in the server version is a full memory dump by default. For example, drwatson (Doctor Watson, which can be found in the attachment-System Tools-system information and tool menu), is a dump file created after the application crashes, generally in C: \ Documents and Settings \ Administrator \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Dr Watson \ directory contains user. the DMP file will occupy more and more space if it is not deleted. Of course, you can configure drwatson so that it does not generate a dump file. In fact, common users do not need these dump files at all. You can check the logs at most. In addition to occupying hard disk space, too many dump files are useless at all.
But now there is another pchealth (as if it was from winme ?), It seems that it is also used to record the system running status, but there is no interface that can be configured externally (?), In addition, it will also perform dump when the application crashes, and generate a large dump file in the c: \ windows \ pchealth \ errorrep \ userdumps directory. Windows's "Disk Cleanup tool" does not even care about these dump files. In this way, the hard disk space is completely swallowed up without your knowledge.
If your hard disk space (or system disk space, such as a computer) is insufficient, try to find the dump files on the hard disk and delete them boldly!
