I'm looking at deploying Storagesense via a GPO to clear out old profile data, and temp files on potentially thousands of PCs. On the 2-3 machines I've applied it to so far it appears to have made no difference to overall disk use. These are machines with upto 150 user profiles - many of which haven't been touched for multiple years so should fall well into the cadence and file ages I've set for removal.
The below is from a gpresult - so you can see that the policy should be applying. I have changed the cadence FROM "every day" to "During Low free disk space" to see if that made a difference, however no files appear to be being deleted. Am I missing something glaringly obvious?
| Policy | Setting | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allow Storage Sense | Enabled | |||||
| Allow Storage Sense Temporary Files cleanup | Enabled | |||||
| Configure Storage Sense cadence | Enabled | |||||
| Run Storage Sense: | During low free disk space | <br> | :--- | :--- | ||
| Policy | Setting | |||||
| :--- | :--- | |||||
| Configure Storage Sense Recycle Bin cleanup threshold | Enabled | |||||
| Minimum age (in days) of a files in the Recycle Bin folder before Storage sense will delete it (0 is never deleting files): | 30 | <br> | :--- | :--- | ||
| Policy | Setting | |||||

| Configure Storage Storage Downloads cleanup threshold | Enabled | |||||
