Disk Cleanup

Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) is a computer maintenance utility included in Microsoft Windows designed to free up disk space. It was introduced in Windows 98 and has been a part of Microsoft Windows ever since.

In 2018, Microsoft introduced a second cleanup utility 'Storage Sense' in the Settings app with Windows 10 version 1803, but Disk Cleanup remained with Windows. As of 2024, it is not marked as deprecated. Windows 11 introduced "Cleanup recommendations" as an 'easy to use' alternative to Disk Cleanup, replacing Storage Sense.
