Microsoft announces the withdrawal of the classic Disk Cleanup tool in Windows 10 in the official blog of the company.
Immediately after the release of Windows 10, Microsoft clarified that it would remove some classic tools such as Control Panel. Of course no one imagined it would take so long.
To date the company has moved a few widgets and tools from the Control Panel to the Settings app or released them as UWP apps. So users and Windows system administrators still find various functions between the Settings app and the Control Panel, while Microsoft continues to make it more difficult access in the Control Panel.
But in the previous version of Windows 10 (April 2018 Update), the company added a new one feature which it calls Storage Sense. Basically, what Microsoft did back then was to copy the functionality provided by the classic disk cleaner (cleanmgr.exe) into a new “Free Up Space Now” section within the “Settings” app.
If usesso in the latest Windows 10 you can access the application from the “Settings” application in the path System – Storage.
So Disk Cleanup will continue to exist in the upcoming Windows 10, but the classic application will be removed from the system.
Note that Storage Sense is disabled by default, but can be enabled from the path mentioned above. The classic Windows disk cleaner was not the best, but it was built into the system and quite easy to use.
For this reason, there were very many who used it solutions third party manufacturers such as CCleaner (note: just because we mention it does not mean we recommend it).
