IEmptyVolumeCache interface (emptyvc.h)

Used by the disk cleanup manager to communicate with a disk cleanup handler. Exposes methods that enable the manager to request information from a handler, and notify it of events such as the start of a scan or purge.

Inheritance

The IEmptyVolumeCache interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IEmptyVolumeCache also has these types of members:

Methods

The IEmptyVolumeCache interface has these methods.

IEmptyVolumeCache::Deactivate Notifies the handler that the disk cleanup manager is shutting down.
IEmptyVolumeCache::GetSpaceUsed Requests the amount of disk space that the disk cleanup handler can free.
IEmptyVolumeCache::Initialize Initializes the disk cleanup handler, based on the information stored under the specified registry key.
IEmptyVolumeCache::Purge Notifies the handler to start deleting its unneeded files.
IEmptyVolumeCache::ShowProperties Notifies the handler to display its UI.
