Утилита очистки диска (Disk Cleanup) позволяет администратору быстро очистить системный диск Windows Server, удалив ненужные и временные файлы, в том числе очистить каталог WinSxS от файлов устаревших компонентов, которые остались после установки обновлений. Утилита Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) по умолчанию уже установлена в графической версии Windows Server 2016/2019 (Desktop Experience), однако в предыдущих версиях Windows Server (2012 R2/ 2012/ 2008 R2) утилита cleanmgr.exe по-умолчанию отсутствует.

Очистка диска с помощью Disk Cleanup в Windows Server 2016

Чтобы очистить системный диск от ненужных файлов в Windows Server 2016 с помощью утилиты Disk Cleanup, нужно в File Explorer открыть свойства диска и нажать кнопку Disk Cleanup.

Также можно в поисковой строке набрать «disk cleanup» или cleanmgr.exe.

Выберите диск, который вы хотите очистить.

Дождитесь пока мастер очистки проверит ваш диск и найдет ненужные файлы, которые можно безболезненно удалить.

Вы можете выбрать компоненты, файлы которых можно удалить. Вам предлагается удалить следующие временные файлы:

• Setup Log Files
• Downloaded Program Files
• Temporary Internet Files
• Recycle Bin
• Temporary files
• Thumbnails

Чтобы удалить ненужные системные файлы нажмите на кнопку Clean up system files.

Дополнительно предлагается очистить:

• Устаревшие файлы Windows Defender
• System archived Windows Error Reporting (каталог C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue)
• System queued Windows Error Reporting
• Device driver packages
• Windows Update Cleanup — при этом выполняется очистка хранилища компонентов в каталоге WinSxS. Удаляются старые версии компонентов, которые остались после установки обновленных версий.

Выберите нужные опции, при этом Disk Cleanup покажет количество места, которое освободится. Нажмите Ок и подтвердите удаление временных файлов.

Дождитесь, пока утилита cleanmgr.exe удалит ненужные файлы.

Очистка диска с помощью cleanmgr.exe из командной строки

Утилита
cleanmgr.exe
имеет различные параметры командной строки, которые позволяют использовать ее в различных сценариях автоматической очистки системного диска. Их можно использовать как в Windows Server, так и на рабочих станциях пользователей с Windows 10.

cleanmgr [/d driveletter] [/SAGESET:n | /SAGERUN:n | TUNEUP:n | /LOWDISK | /VERYLOWDISK | /SETUP | /AUTOCLEAN]

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Ключ
/AUTOCLEAN
используется для очистки старых файлов, оставшихся после апгрейда билда Windows. Параметр
/SETUP
позволяет удалить файлы, оставшиеся от предыдущей версии Windows (если вы выполняли in-place upgrade).

Команда
cleanmgr /LOWDISK
– запускает графический интерфейс Disk Cleanup с уже выбранными параметрами очистки.

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Команда
cleanmgr /VERYLOWDISK
выполняет автоматическую очистку, а после окончания оторажает информацией о выполненных действиях и свободном месте.

You have successfully resolved the low disk space condition. Your C:\ volume now has 10000 Mb of free space remaining.

С помощью параметров
/sageset:n
и
/sagerun:n
вы можете создать и выполнить настроенный набор параметров очистки.

Например, выполните команду
cleanmgr /sageset:11
. В открывшемся окне выберите компоненты и файлы, которые нужно автоматически очищать (я выбрал все опции).

Эти настройки сохраняются в ветке реестра HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches. В этой ветке перечислены все компоненты Windows, которые можно очистить с помощью Disk Cleanup. Для каждой опции, которую вы выбрали создается параметр типа DWORD с именем StateFlags0011 (
0011
это число, которое вы указали в параметре sageset).

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

Чтобы запустить процесс очистки с выбранными параметрами, выполните команду:

cleanmgr /sagerun:11

Если вам нужно настроить автоматическую очистку дисков на компьютерах (или серверах) в домене, вам достаточно экспортировать эту ветку реестра и распространить ее через GPO.

Для автоматического запуска очистки системного диска на рабочих станциях с Windows 10 можно создать задание в планировщике со следующим PowerShell скриптом:

Start-Process -FilePath CleanMgr.exe -ArgumentList '/sagerun:11' -WindowStyle Hidden -Wait

Запуск cleanmgr в Windows Server 2012 R2/ 2008 R2 без установки Desktop Experience

В Windows Server 2012 / R2 и 2008 /R2 по умолчанию не установлена утилита очистки диска Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe). Чтобы воспользоваться утилитой cleanmgr сначала нужно установить отдельный компонент сервера Desktop Experience (Возможности рабочего стола) с помощью Server Manager или PowerShell (
Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
).

Но вместе с Desktop Experience устанавливается множество других компонентов, которые абсолютно не нужны на сервере:

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

• Windows Media Player
• Темы рабочего стола
• Поддержка AVI для Windows
• Windows SideShow
• Windows Defender
• Disk Cleanup
• Sync Center
• Запись звука
• Character Map
• Snipping Tool

Для запуска мастера очистки дисков в Windows Server можно воспользоваться более простым методом: достаточно скопировать в системный каталог два файла из каталога WinSxS: Cleanmgr.exe и Cleanmgr.exe.mui. Ниже представлены команды для копирования файлов cleanmgr из каталога WinSxS для разных версий Windows Server (во всех случаях используется путь для английских редакций ОC).

Windows Server 2012 R2 x64

Рассмотренный выше трюк не работает в Windows Server 2012 R2 из-за изменений, внесенных обновлением KB2821895. Дело в том, что после установки данного обновления для хранения бинарных файлов компонентов стала использоваться компрессия. При попытке запустить скопированный cleanmgr.exe появляется ошибка:

The Program or feature \??\C:\Windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit version of Windows

Картинка с сайта: winitpro.ru

В качестве обходного решения можно воспользоваться такой методикой:

1. Установить компонент Windows Desktop Experience:
   Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
2. Перезагрузить сервер;
3. Скопировать файлы %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe и %windir%\system32\en-US\cleanmgr.exe.mui в произвольный каталог (c:\temp)
4. Удалить компонент:
   Uninstall-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
5. Перезагрузка;
6. Скопировать файлы cleanmgr.exe и cleanmgr.exe.mui в указанные выше каталоги

В дальнейшем эти два файла можно скопировать и на все другие сервера или интегрировать в шаблоны виртуальных машин с Windows Server 2012 R2.

Ссылка на скачивание готового комплекта файлов cleanmgr.exe.mui + cleanmgr.exe для Windows Server 2012 R2 на ЯндексДиске (thks Alex Kornev).

Для запуска утилиты очистки диска теперь достаточно выполнять с правами администратора команду
cleanmgr.exe
.

Использование Disk Cleanup в Windows Server Core

В Windows Server Core 2016, в котором отсутствует полноценный графический интерфейс, утилита Disk Cleanup также не установлена. Если вы хотите использовать cleanmgr.exe для очистки диска в Server Core, достаточно скопировать следующие файлы из каталога WinSXS:

copy C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-cleanmgr_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.0_none_9ab8a1dc743e759a\cleanmgr.exe C:\Windows\System32\

copy C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-cleanmgr.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.0_en-us_8b4adb68af596a23\cleanmgr.exe.mui C:\Windows\System32\en-US\

Your Windows operating system and many third-party applications create hundreds of Temporary files on your system in one single day. Normally, these files do not cause any issue, but when they increase exponentially in numbers, they block valuable space on the hard drive and degrade the overall performance of your system.

By deleting all such Cache files, you can free up a lot of disk space and keep your machine running at peak efficiency. There are many ways to delete Temporary files on Windows 10. Read further to know them.

Temporary files are created by both the Operating System and the software running on your computer system. Temporary files are denoted with a file type of .tmp or prefaced with a tilde (~). Typically, temporary files are created in the Windows Temp folder and are used for many reasons, these include the following:

• OS requirements, like providing space for virtual memory.
• Back-up files created for work-in-progress like MS Office creates for its open documents.
• Work files for applications that hold data while the program is running.

There are two main reasons to clear out the temporary files in Windows 10 or any other version of Windows. These include regaining storage space and improving computer performance. For these reasons, it is advised that you delete the temporary files periodically.

This folder is located at c:/Windows/Temp and mainly used by the operating system to store the temporary files. You can press Win + R key, type ‘temp’ and hit ‘Enter’ to go to this folder.
