Hi Guys
Do you have any good PowerShell scripts to cleanup Windows 10 harddrives? I try the cleanmgr but no matter what I do it doesn't clean the "Windows Update Cleanup" option. I need to create a script that I can run on VDIs when they get under 10 GB

2021-04-22T23:19:56.41+00:00 Hi Andreas
Im not looking to remove previous versions. Basically I can do the cleanup but the "Windows Update Cleanup" under the cleanmgr.exe(Disk Cleanup under Clean System Files ) doesnt get removed and there's always a ton of data in there
