    Hi Bradley,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Disk Clean up. I will surely help you.

    I suggest you to manually delete the temporary files.

    Kindly follow the below mentioned steps to delete the temporary files:

    • Press Windows logo key + R
      key to run Run Command, type %temp%, and hit
      Enter
      .
    • Delete all the files in the folder.
    • Go to C:/Windows/Prefetch and delete all the files except the
      ReadyBoot folder.
    • Go to C:/Windows/Temp and delete all the files.
    • Restart the computer, and now check the disk space.

    We don't recommend you to delete any system default application.

    Please write us back, if you still face difficulty with Disk Clean up. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
