    Automatic cleanup onboard tools


    Hi!

    Once in a while I encounter the situation that I have to maintaince a Windows 7 system with low system space.
    After cleaning the temp folders folders (I often use CCleaner) often more than 20% is free again.

    But my question is if there is a tooling that cleans all temp files on windows periodical on board which can be enabled?

    I really don't understand why microsoft is not setting up automated service cleaning the temp files (files not changed since a week).

    I really don't know if they can be automatic or not. I have never tried. I do all my cleanup anything manually so I can see/monitor what is being done.
