Noob question.

I am running Server2003 and have just installed CCleaner. I ran the analyze function and it came up with 160MB of data to be removed. This seems like quite a lot, and am therefore quite paranoid that some critical OS stuff will get lost when I run the cleaning function. Settings are still at default.

Dont worry about it windows system files are protected and im sure cccleaner knows not to delete critical files

No it's just that it showed that it would remove about 160MB of data. I once ran a anti-spyware a couple of years ago when I still knew very little of computers and the program messed up some dial-up settings. I however remember know that it was a dialer of someone's ISP that I screwed up with that anti-spyware program.

why don't u just look at what the data is? it shows you what will be deleted. most of the time it's hotfix uninstallers when you get a lot of mb.

Have you been checking my post history?

Yes, I've figured it out. I were a bit hasty in my original post and I'm not a computer boffin, but I have figured it out.
