Quote:Windows 10 version 1809, for instance, lets you configure when to run Storage Sense, and in addition to daily, weekly, and monthly schedules, you can also let Windows decide when it’s best to do it.

Additionally, you can configure the operating system to take care of your temporary files and delete them daily or every 14, 30, or 60 days all automatically without you moving a single finger. The same settings can also be enabled for content in the Downloads folder.

Needless to say, all these improvements make disk management a more straightforward process, and given that Windows takes care of everything for you, there’s little to worry about when it comes to unnecessary files eating up your disk space.

While Microsoft is currently in the process of deprecating the disk cleanup tool in Windows 10, mostly because it’s moving all its features to Storage Sense, you can still use it to remove files you don’t need as part of a single process.
And at the same time, you can rely on the classic Disk Cleanup to set up automated tasks that are performed at a user-defined time. And it all comes down to the built-in Task Scheduler.
