Below we will see how you can add Disk Cleanup (disk Cleanup) in the menu you see when you right-click on Windows 10 for easier access to the function.
Windows uses many different files, some of which are temporary. Windows 10 can empty this "junk", thus preventing the disk from being filled with unnecessary content. However, sometimes the disks fill up and you have to run the disk cleanup.
There are several ways to clean your disk. One of them is Disk Cleanup which we will add to the context menu of Explorer. This will save you some click since you should not look for the properties of the disk.
You must make a small change to the system registry for the item to appear in the menu. To do this, below you will find two ready-made registry files that can add or remove the "Cleanup" item from the menu.
You need an administrator account to complete the process.
- Download the registry files from here
- Unzip the contents to any folder.
- Run the 'Add cleanup to the menu.reg' file and confirm the changes to the Windows registry.
You will not need to restart your computer. All changes will appear immediately in the Explorer menu. Just right-click on the disk and select Clear.
Remove the "Cleanup" item from the disc menu
Subtraction is done in the same way as the addition. Just run the other .reg file you downloaded from the instructions above. Run the "Remove Cleanup from menu.reg" file and confirm the changes.
Caution: We recommend that you carefully review registry files that you download from the Internet to ensure that they are safe. To do this, right-click on the .reg file and select Modify. This command will open the file with notepad to read its contents. We do not recommend running registry files, dynamic link libraries (DLLs) or installation files from unknown sources.
