With due respect to Jerry, I don’t believe what he says is correct. If you have an older version of cleanmgr, it will update it.
Download and run the appropriate file at he bottom of the page in the link. The link in the post is a Microsoft update to cleanmgr. When I run disk cleanup, I do see “Windows update cleanup” in the list of things to delete, but I do NOT see a separate button, lower down, saying “Clean up system files”. It implies that “Clean up system files” and “Windows update cleanup” are mutually exclusive, because it says “If the Windows Update Cleanup option is not displayed on the Disk Cleanup tab, click Clean up system files.” Petero then links to a Microsoft support page which is even more confusing. One which has the button and another which displays “Windows Update Cleanup” in the list of clean up options.” What are these two versions? I can only find one version of cleanmgr.exe on my system. I checked I had the updated version and discovered that there are two versions of the program. In the link posted by jwitalka, there is a post from Petero which says “I ran the cleanup program but my version didn’t show “Clean up System Files”. I have been through that, but it does not give me “Clean up system files”. Drew1903 recommends using the sageset/sagerun scenario. Thanks for the replies, but not very helpful, unfortunately.
