Cannot Remove Saved Network Diagnostics Log Files
This article was previously published under Q258120
When you run the Network Diagnostics tool in the Microsoft System Information utility (Msinfo32.exe), your network configuration information can be saved in one or more log files that you can review at a later time. Although the information in these log files may be useful for troubleshooting purposes, you may be unable to delete these log files.
This issue occurs because PCHealth prevents core files from being
overwritten or deleted.
To delete saved Network Diagnostics log files:
- Start your computer by using a Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Startup disk.
- At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:
c:
cd \
cd windows\pchealth\helpctr\system\netdiag
- Type dir /w, and then press ENTER to view a list of files in the Netdiag folder. Log files appear as:
Netdiag date and time.htm
- Note the names of the files you want to delete, and then delete them. To do so, type del file name, press ENTER, and then repeat this command to delete any other log files you do not want to keep.
- Restart your computer.
The Network Diagnostics tool creates an accurate history of your network environment and helps better to view patterns of networking-related problems. For additional information about PCHealth, click the article number below

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
