# Automatically Run Disk Clean-Up Utility With Preferred Settings | |
# Windows 8.1/2012 R2; Powershell 4.0 | |
# First, launch CleanMgr.EXE with /sageset: n - where n is some number (defaults to 5000) | |
# You will need to set the settings as you desire in the UI that appears | |
# When you save, it will save the settings in a regkey | |
# for more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315246 | |
# | |
# The n value, which is stored in the registry, allows you to specify tasks for Disk Cleanup to run. | |
# The n value can be any integer value from 0 to 65535. | |
# 5000 is default because your temp files will go Audi-5000 :-) | |
$n=5000 | |
# To have all of the options available when you use the /sageset option, | |
# you might need to specify the drive where Windows is installed. | |
& CleanMgr.EXE /sageset:$n /d ($env:SystemDrive) | |
# Now we'll create and install a scheduled task to make it run with your saved settings once a week. | |
# You can find your Scheduled Task in TaskSchedule UI under the name <yourusername>_Run_DiskCleanupTool | |
