    Windows 10 build 2004. Disk Cleanup will not run as admin....


    Is this a known issue with this build? It will run fine if I open it as normal but if i try to run as admin or clean up the system files it will not load at all.



    Tried DISM restores, Scannow, Safe Mode and god knows what else. It worked fine in build 1909 so j ust wondering is this a known issue that it doesn't work in 2004?

    disk cleanup running randomly

    I am running windows 8.1, the disk cleanup window for c keeps popping up, if i move the mouse towards it, it disappear. Is there something nasty on my machine causing this?

    I have scanned with malwarebytes and cc cleaner but they find nothing.

    Any ideas?

    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
