How To Clean Disks Not Working On Windows?

To troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue of Disk Cleanup not working on Windows, follow these steps:

1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:
   • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update
   • Run the troubleshooter and restart your computer.
2. Run the System File Checker (SFC) Scan:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Enter the command: sfc /scannow and press Enter.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions and restart your computer.
3. Delete Temporary Files Manually:
   • Press Windows key + R, type %temp%, and press Enter.
   • Select all temporary files, right-click, and delete them.
   • Restart your computer and try Disk Cleanup again.
4. Use Storage Sense: Alternatively, enable Storage Sense to automatically clean junk files periodically without manual intervention.
5. Use Third-party Tool (Optional): If Disk Cleanup still doesn't work, you can use a third-party tool like iSunshare System Genius or EaseUS Partition Master for junk file cleanup.

Remember to try solutions sequentially and restart your computer after each step. If the problem persists, consider consulting Microsoft Support or performing a clean reinstall of Windows if other troubleshooting efforts have failed.
