Hi Folks!

  Only recently discovered via Fred Langa that the Disk Cleanup
manager in Programs > Accessories > System is much more powerful than
I'd previously thought.  The trick is to start the program with the
magic words "sageset" and "sagerun".  These two articles

give a gentle introduction. And here's Microsoft's documentation:

Note that these articles are valid for Windows XP and later.  When you
run cleanmgr with the sageset option, you'll find yourself in a list
of 13 items.  Use the up and down arrows to navigate and spacebar to
set an option.  Items 2, 3, 7 and 12 have additional options.  Press
Tab to access them and Shift+Tab to return to the list.  And be
careful!  Once the files have been erased, they've been erased,

good luck,
John
