Windows 10: After Windows Update KB4505064 this week (31st May 2019) Disk Clean-up System Clean-up...

I only have a 32Gb Memory Disk. My disk only contains 22Gb of files, mostly Windows 10 itself. I dare not let it do this as it sounds like it is going to remove most of Windows. What's going on?

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

clean disk

As per a previous post the process is listed here

Erase Disk using Diskpart Clean Command in Windows 10

How are you accessing the command prompt, if DISK 0 is the only disk in the system and you are running Windows 10 OS on DISK 0 then the commands won't work.

If you are booting from Windows 10 installation media to access the Command prompt then the commands are correct.
