Disk Cleanup won't clean all files

When I run Disk Cleanup, files remain in "Web Client/Publisher Temporary Files" and "Compress old files". When I "view files", under "Downloaded Program Files", it shows "Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2". In fact it is listed twice. Nothing else on the list. I know I can remove them there manually, but I don't know if I'm screwing something up if I do so. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks. Tom

I would suggest NOT compacting files, it can cause problems if the drive is ever near full and the other files are probaby designed to stay there in case of repair/reinstall...I would check to see how much space they take up before I manually deleted them...
