    Hmm, interesting. I'm not savvy about the various switches, just know what works on here. Anyway, here is the output, it seems there's still some "stuff" in that section you mentioned. Looks like something to look into if one wants to recoup that bit too. Thanks for the add'l info. I'm wondering now if the /ResetBase switch is necessary. Running that cmd without the switch doesn't do anything, the stuff is still there.

    plat1098,

    I use this clean.cmd. "EMPTY" is an empty folder and it can be anywhere you like. Run the batch file as admin.

    Code:
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" /mir /r:0"
    
    pause

    I tested it on my system and /resetbase removed approx. 2 GB of data all from section Backups and Disabled Features.

    I only used Disk cleanup the first time I cleaned Windows updates, after that, I have been doing the cleanup via Settings in my W10. I find cleanups works well via Settings. But I learned that you can't trust the number that it gives as what is supposed to clean. So, for example, if it shows that is going to clean 540MB, it might actually end up cleaning 2 or 3 GB's. Same if it shows 4GB, it might only clean 2GB.

    I know lately you been deleting Software distribution every time you do an update or almost every time. I don't think is beneficial or healthy you keep doing that. If the size of the folder is a few GB then certainly delete the files and folders but that folder is normal to be about 500MB all the time. I see it increasing to about a Gig after doing an update (like after today's), and by tomorrow or the following day the system will clean it itself and the size would go down to somewhere between 485MB and 616MB. This is what I seen constantly happening in my computer after an update. Best regards, plat. :)

    Awesome, had to make little changes and still working on the second command before saving. Re-edit: OK, it works now, Yay!--but these tasks were already done so will give this a whirl next update time. Thank you, first time here. :)

    @Minimalist : Yes, I am only speculating but maybe since I'm running an Insider build, this data cannot be deleted as one could running the regular Windows. Otherwise, it should have worked like your trial did for you. But, I have no other explanation why it didn't delete that Backups and Disabled section.

    Bo, you're right overall, of course, but it seems it's actually OK to delete JUST the contents of the Download folder. I don't touch the other contents, I can see where this could cause problems. I mean, it's not much--maybe 1GB or so. But I don't have a large C drive so I just like it clean wherever possible if it's not harmful. :)

    Sorry it was my bad wording. On my system it also left some data in that section ( approx. 1.9GB ) but data size before and after /resetbase has shrunk. So I guess that /resetbase removes unneeded data from that section.

    plat1098,

    You can use a Robocopy batch file to delete Temp files...

    Code:
    @echo off
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\TileCache" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Garmin\HomePort\TileCache" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Temp" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\unified_cache_leveldb_leveldb2" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\Cache\unified_cache_leveldb_leveldb2" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\webdata" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\Canon\MP Navigator EX V40\temp" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\MapSource\TileCache" /mir
    
    robocopy "D:\My_files\Storage\Keep\S to Z\T\TeraByte apps\WinPE\EMPTY" "C:\Windows\Temp" /mir

    Same here, but only in the tab "App History". The MS Edge icon looks normal in the tab "Processes". Weired.

    Hmm, interesting observation. In Apps section, it looks like the blue/green wave it always was, as do all the ones under the arrow. There's an Edge process in Background processes that looks like the generic icon and in App History, the same generic icon as Special displayed. :doubt:
