Windows 7: Disk Cleanup : Extended

Thanks BFK; it worked well. I need to create a batch file for this.

Thanks Carl, if you want to post the .bat for others, feel free.

I created the batch file in Notepad and named it clean.bat. The name does not matter; you can name it anything you wish as long as you give it the .bat extension.

Open Notepad. copy and paste the two lines below into Notepad.

cd C:\windows\system32
%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535

Click on File and select Save as...

Type the file name and give it the .bat extension.

Select All files (*.*) and click Save.

Once I saved the file I moved it from the Documents folder to the Windows> System32 folder. The path on my computer is C:\Windows\System32.

To run the batch file and the program, open cmd as an administrator and type "clean" or whatever you named the file (without the quotation marks) at the prompt and hit Enter.

Cool, thanks Carl.

You are welcome. I hope it helps someone.

carl and BFK great work, i would rep you, but apparently i havent repped enough people yet to make it work

carl i think your batch file is slightly wrong, i get "the filename directory name or volume syntax is incorrect" it still works because it has defaulted to C:\windows\system 32 anyway but on the first line, rather than "cd\C:\windows\system 32" shouldnt it be "cd c:\windows\system 32 (with a space instead of the slash)

Thanks Ted and Carl, Nice Work!
+rep For both of you.
Derek

Thanks severedsolo also for spotting that.

The new one works perfect Carl.

Yes, it should. That is a mistype on my part. I will correct it. Thank you very much.

Thank you Derek. Much appreciated.
