Win. 11 storage sense: we couldn't free up anymore disk space

Question

hi,

Just have a question. In Windows 11, I go to the storage sense to free up temporary files, but there it states: we couldn't free up anymore disk space. Even if I installed software or updates. It did manage to free up 1mb of temporary files. Is there a bug there?

Hello,

That message means there's nothing more to delete.

Or you can try to use cmd to cleanup disk space.

cleanmgr /sageset

cleanmgr /sagerun
