When using DISK CLEANUP
Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files (both boxes ticked)
After Cleanup.......
* Temporary Internet Files still shows 7 MB of files
* Temporary Files still shows 3 MB of files
It does not seem to empty/clean all the hidden folders up
Can anyone help and/or explain why?
Is this something to do with the new windows 10 ?
CleanUp should be just that - cleanup empty/delete all folders
Many empty folders are for Windows Prime operations, wouldn't recommend messing with folders you did not create.
Sorry you misunderstand....Many empty folders are for Windows Prime operations, wouldn't recommend messing with folders you did not create.
I don't want to mess with any folders
Disk Cleanup has a tick box next to Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files
the tick box is there for a reason (to delete and cleanup files and folders)
My question originally was... why when you tick the boxit still leaves some files there and does notcleanup
as per DISK CLEANUP
MICROSOFT > windows 10 has a program Disk CleanUp (and there to be used by op)
All I am asking is why is it only cleaning 75% of the files
Reboot and see if your results are better.
3MB and 7MB is really not much. Are you sure Windows is not recreating files based on it;s normal operation?
This behavior occurs if the temporary files are less than seven days old. The Disk Cleanup tool does not delete temporary files that are less than seven days old.
CCleaner has 48-hours limit for safety reasons as well, but you can skip it, I do it like this, just to be sure:
del "%temp%*" /s /f /q
del "C:$Recycle.bin*" /s /f /q
del "D:$Recycle.bin*" /s /f /q
del "%systemroot% emp*" /s /f /q
cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
gaz132, you're right, I missed the fine points! I'm glad you got the answers!

Agree.
One can spend the rest of their life chasing a few MB.
and, according to gaz132, "All I am asking is why is it only cleaning 75% of the files"Agree.

So, if disk cleanup left 10 mb behind that would mean he only had 40 mb to clean to begin with, 30 mb was cleaned, 10 mb was left behind. I sure would not bother running disk cleanup for 40 mb in temp files - even on my tablet and stick computers with only 32gb eMMC memory. That 40 mb would be 0.12% of memory space on them. And I'm even the guy with OCD that will change a light bulb at midnight if I see it is burned out.
NavyLCDR, howszitgoin'? Anyway, when you posted "memory space" you meant byte-space, correct?
