Disk Cleanup

Free up disk space by removing temporary files and cache.

What is Disk Cleanup?

As you use your computer, Windows creates temporary files for performance and caching. These files often stay on your drive long after they are needed.

Over time, this clutter can take up gigabytes of space. Disk Cleanup finds these files (browser caches, Windows update logs, temp files) and lets you reclaim that space.

Select items to clean

In the Disk Cleanup tab, optimizerDuck groups junk files into categories. Instead of navigating complex system folders, you get a simple list where each category is clearly explained.

For each item, the interface shows what files are targeted, how much space you will save, and the exact file paths.

Items with no reclaimable space are disabled automatically, so you don't waste time on empty categories.

To select a category, check the box next to it. You can select multiple items at once. Use the Refresh button to re-scan space usage.

Refresh quick action

If you have just cleared some files and want to see updated space estimates for the remaining categories, click the Refresh button to re-scan without leaving the page.

Disk Cleanup completed

After reviewing the list and selecting the categories you want to clean, click the Clean Selected button in the top menu bar.

optimizerDuck will safely delete these files from your drive. The time depends on how much data is being cleared and your drive speed. When finished, a notification will show how much space was freed up.
