Windows 10: In Disk Cleanup, should I delete Thumbnails?

In Disk Cleanup, should I delete Thumbnails?

:)

 

disk cleanup

Hi joysoder, to properly and safely delete any files not required by your system, run Disk Cleanup twice as explained below. Each time select everything in the list and delete them. Disk Cleanup will not suggest deleting anything that is not safe to delete
. . .

Open File Explorer

Click on your hard drive

On the Manage Tab, click Cleanup

Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

Start Disk Cleanup again

Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

This time in the resulting dialog, click 'Cleanup System Files'

Let Disk Cleanup run another scan

Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

 

Thumbnails option missing from disk cleanup

I was having an issue with images loading a bit slowly in my folders and one of the suggestions was to do a disk cleanup and make sure the thumbnails box was checked

However, I have no thumbnails box. The last box is Temporary Files

Can anyone offer some help?

Thank you

Hi,

Try clearing the thumbnail cache. Use these steps:

• Open File Explorer, and click This PC
• Select the system drive (usually, C:\)
• From the Manage tab at the top, click "Cleanup". (This launches Disk Cleanup for C:\ drive.)
• Enable the check box for "Thumbnails", and uncheck all other items in the list.
• Click OK
• When Disk Cleanup prompt you with the message "Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files?", click the "Delete Files" button.
• Restart Windows and let Windows regenerate fresh set of thumbnail cache as required.

Hope that helps.
