Windows 10: Disk cleanup problem

Hi, the disk cleaner of my system (its laptop with Windows 10 preinstalled on it) doesn't work or doesn't work properly. When trying to clean a SSD Windows drive I check all the files that are to be purged, hit the 'clean" button, it shows me working and deleting, but at the end nothing happens, I see the same amount of space as it was before I did the cleanup and when opening again the disk cleaner I see the same files that were supposed to be cleaned. Where is the problem and what I'm doing wrong?

Disk Cleanup problem

Hi,

When you use the Disk Cleanup tool, it only deletes temporary files that are 7 days old and above. Temporary files are often being used, and the tool ensures that any recent applications that the user launches can still
access these recently saved temporary files. Regarding the Windows Update Cleanup, this folder cannot be cleared entirely. This is because these files are present in the folder and will be replace once the update is available.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Disk Cleanup problem

Dear Microsoft!

I have a big problem on two computers too. When I run Disk Cleanup its always shows me the same: 1.83 GB of Windows Update Cleanup.





The other computer it shows me the same with Temporary Internet Files, always about 400 MB.

I run the troubleshooters but nothing helped yet.

What should I do?

Regards,

Gabor

 

Paste this in your command prompt admin
%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535

 

How do I do it? I simply placed it in the search window, it opened a cleaning window, I checked all the desired options, but nothing was cleaned again...

 

Did it wrong....open up your command prompt ....NOT your search window paste it in their....ADMIN Command Prompt

 

But where do I found it? I see in command prompt (what is Admin command prompt?) merely the line C:/users/<my username>.

 

right click on your windows start icon lower left hand Conner

 

or just download CCleaner free version and run it.....

 

Should I past this line %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535 after C:/Windows /system 32> I bit afraid to mess with it as I'm not a IT specialist

 

Ok, any way thanks for the advice

 

Yes if your in your command prompt Admin ....then just hit enter key.

 

Ok, thanks again, tried it, it did not help, cccleaner helped a little

 

Hi,

That suggests there wasn't all that much to get rid of anyway.

Ccleaner is a nice program for people that have little computer experience, it plays very safe.

Well, actually the Windows's disk cleaner shows about 1 GB of Temporary Internet Files still sitting on the disk which Ccleaner too was apparently unable to delete. The problem with Ccleaner is that there are lot of options and lot of things that it suggests to delete but you can mess up quite heavily so I quite cautious to use it as well...
