Proper Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) support #31

Open EUCweb opened 6 years ago

EUCweb commented 6 years ago

Cleanmgr.exe is not installed by default on Windows 2008 or 20008 R2, desktop experience installation is required or manual installation of the binary (language specific)

Cleanmgr.exe KB2852386 (not included in Convenience Update rollup) must be installed in order to delete supersded updates on windows 7 and 2008 R2

Cleanmgr.exe must run before defrag and sdelete Cleanmgr.exe deletes the superseded updates during the boot process so BISF should reboot after cleanmgr.exe execution and resume after the netx logon

2008/r2 is not supported anymore. A waste of time?
