![]() I don’t know if there’s a setting to let windows know you don’t want it putting their garbage there. Also windows does that to multiple disks. There are unsupported tools for this, but then you’re at risk of bricking your system. There’s no official way of cleaning it up (cleanmgr and dism didn’t cut it for me, but helped). It is more than happy to accumulate dozens of gigabytes of update installers / whatever they keep at WinSxS and similar folders. Also it seems that it ships with telemetry now, so you may want to disable that too. I think it’s fine if you’re careful to not install some adware alongside with it and can endure being bugged to pay for it constantly. CCleaner works with more applications, which is nice. It works on Windows too and works decently. This adds up fast, but dare you not complain about it because “storage is so cheap nowadays loool”. Check your disk with WinDirStat and you’ll very easily spot those already enormous 300MB electron-based instant messengers keeping copies of previous versions of their software in the install location. But I expect programs and my OS to be reasonable (they’re usually not) on the amount cache they keep around. Many people will tell you that cleaning it does no good and can make your experience slower. In MY experience, they’ve never caused any harm, but I didn’t really notice any real improvements. ![]()
