I've created a C# console app with Visual Studio to run cleanmgr, and it worked. However, there are a couple of things which I failed to figure out: I couldn't find a way to run it as admin. Like what happened when I open an elevated cmd and run the command. The command I want is actually not cleanmgr, but "cleanmgr /d c". I couldn't code this. I'd appreciate your help!

How to code run-as-admin?

I've created a C# console app with Visual Studio to run cleanmgr, and it worked.

However, there are a couple of things which I failed to figure out:

I couldn't find a way to run it as admin. Like what happened when I open an elevated cmd and run the command.
The command I want is actually not cleanmgr, but "cleanmgr /d c". I couldn't code this.

I'd appreciate your help!

Since I wrote my application in C#, I've found this article instead.

I added the manifest part and changed the requested execution level from "asInvoker" to "highestAvailable". But when I ran the app, it came unelevated. However, I kept going with the article till I arrived at the adding of the "allowElevation" capability declaration and couldn't do that part.

I didn't know where to put the "Capabilities" code. And before that (in step # 3 in the article I found) when I changed the requested execution level from "asInvoker" to "highestAvailable" and ran the app, it came unelevated.
