    Re: How to Clean Your Windows PC Using Command Prompt

    Nice for temp files and user files, but Windows 10 makes most of these obsolete. Running the storage cleanup in Settings from an administrator account will go much deeper than the old cleanmgr tool, as it can touch old Windows update files.

    As the link also doesn't exactly make clear off the bat: don't defrag SSDs. There's no need and all it does is add additional r/w cycles.

    You can also clear space from the component store, a core part of Windows, using the dism tool.

    From an elevated command prompt, run: dism /online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

    If it advises you that the component store can be cleaned, run: dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

    Basic stuff can't tell you how many time there is 5 to 10 gigs in the trash can

    Then after you delete those the customer asks where all of their important files are...
