Best Practice using System Clean-up

Thread needs solution

Want to limit System Clean-up to 30GB System partition, and exclude 500GB external hard drive.

Clicked on View & Change Settings - did not find option, so I unplugged the USB cable to hard drive and that worked. How can I tell System Clean-up which partition to clean?

Hello KCav,

I understand the question and will do everything possible from my side to solve the issue.

In Cleanup window choose “click here if you want to change the cleanup settings before proceeding” -> System Components -> unfold Hard Disk Free Space -> Drive Free Space -> here you can add or remove hard drives.

Also take a look on Windows Disk Cleanup utility. Click Start  -> Run -> type cleanmgr, and then click OK You will then see a window to choose the drive for the Disk Cleanup. See the following Microsoft KB article for step-by-step instructions.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
