Is it normal to disk cleanup extended no to show up the size of the items to be deleted?
I'm terribly sorry to revive this old thread, but I have a question.
Been at this for hours now, and this seems like the only solution that might work.
When I type the command in cmd run as admin.. I get a message saying "Access denied".
Why might this be?
Also, no "Windows Update Cleaner" option to tick in Cleanmgr
Hello hoofbite, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)
It sounds like you didn't run the command in an elevated command prompt.

hi
great tutorial
would be great a task scheduler that performt it always after 2 days after un update
I love this technique, even have my clean.bat file in Dropbox and create a shortcut onto all my computers desktops
This extended cleanup method might be very dangerous because you don't see the size of the selected options. Sometimes they exceed even the size of the hard drive, which is obvious due to some registry corruption. For example, you can search the web for "huge windows error reporting files", which cleanup resulted in wiping out the entire system. On of this files, which size was supposed to be 0 KB was displayed as about 150 GB on my laptop. Can you imagine if I ran this "extended cleanup"? It would have been really extended. I also experienced a similar problem trying to delete Windows Update Files of about 4 GB, which is not unreasonable. After this the system could not restart (was hanging attempting to complete some phantom windows updates) and was severely corrupted (restore points were gone) so only recovery disk helped. And this exact incident happened two times on my laptop.
So, please, keep this in mind while running this "extended blind cleanup".
