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

    How about a DISM cleanup? 

    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
