Downloaded Program Files and Disc Cleanup

Question

Choosing to clean up Downloaded Program Files in Disc cleanup is not removing them. Can these Active X files be safely right clicked and removed that way? In particular an unwanted file from Internet Washer. Thanks..

Purrplexed,

I had some stubborn files that Disc cleanup won't remove. Delete by sending the file to the recycle bin. If you use Internet Washer it will be permanent. I am sure that if you remove the ActiveX files, some things will not work.

if you already uninstalled the window washer program, (there seems to be a lot of programs called window washer).. i think people are reluctant to answer because we really don't know.. if you want to, try uninstalling it, the active x control in 'downloaded program files'. i don't think it will cause a problem..

Thanks. I guess I should have been more specific about the Internet Washer: it was downloaded accidently and definitely not wanted. I actually used AdAware to get rid of it but was left with this Active X Control that I want to get rid of. Thanks again.
