CleanMgr: Disk Cleanup Wizard addon lets users delete outdated Windows update files
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/10
Not only for Windows 7 SP1, as it works on newer Windows versions too:
The article lists many steps, but these are the ones you don’t want to miss:
- Start the Disk Cleanup wizard by running ‘CleanMgr‘ as Administrator
- Make sure you press the “Cleanup system files” button:
this will restart CleanMgr as administrator and include obsolete Windows Update files in the scan.
Both scanning and cleaning can take quite a while, and you often have to reboot afterwards.
You automate parts of the non-administrator process, but the automation task does not support the “Cleanup system files” option. Normally I’d rather see what it wants to cleanup, so I have not used this automation way yet..
