Recently I needed to clean up space on computers with low free space, and wrote this primative batch file that would log the deleted files, along with free space before & after.
The Scripts will perform and log these things to a server file share:
- Set Registry Keys to run Windows Cleanup Manager & Run Cleanup – based on deploymentbunny
- Call vbs file to delete IE, Chrome, Java Cache & Windows Temp files – based on this script
- Set Page file to 2GB
To do this, you need to have a share that is pretty wide open, write access from “domain computers”, or what I’ve done is map a drive in the script with a user account that only has access to that share.

WindowsCleanUp.cmd (Main Script, the one that calls the others) =
———————
REM 1- Maps Drive to Network Share for Log File – Use fine and replace to replace Server\Share with your info
REM 2- Sets Registry Keys and Runs CleanMgr.exe using those settings (Borrowed from deploymentbunny )
REM 3- Delete _SMSTaskSequence folder if exist – I’ve seen this in our enviroment after pushing some software using at TS.
REM 4- Delete Internet – Calls CMD File that will delete: Java Cache, IE Temp Files, Chrome Temp Files, Windows Temp Files for all Users
REM 4 – This will build a batch file “C:\TempFileRemoval.bat” containing the directories in which to delete.
REM 5- Sets Pagefile to 2GB
REM 6- Finishes Logging, and shows current FreeSpace

The scripts create a log file on a file server:
They can get quite large due to it tracking every file that gets deleted.
Sample from the Log File: (Use CMTrace to watch Log populate live)
My Test Machine is pretty clean, I tried to create some Temp files for the Logs.
Here is part of the log of one that actually had something CleanMgr could clean up:
The next time the computer reboots, it will finish the Windows Update Removal Cleanup, can take several minutes.
I have this as a package / program, that I run against a Query Based collection. If machines get low disk space, they will automatically run this program. I also run this on computers that McAfee tags as having had been infected, just to clear out temp files, where the infection typically was.
