Windows Update cleanup not working?

Open nollinvoyd opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Maybe I have the wrong impression of Cleanmgr+ capabilities. I've had this problem for a while now.

For instance, I just installed the latest Windows Updates, including "2022-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5009543)", but after running a Cleanmgr+, which included Windows Update Cleanup, it only found about 10mb of stuff to remove.

I had to go to my Storage setting >Temporary Files, where there was still over 4gb of stuff to get rid of, including 3.22gb of Windows Update Files. and about 700mb of delivery optimization files.

It occurred to me that perhaps Cleanmgr+ needed updating. I hadn't been notified thru the app that one was available, and I saw no means on the app for checking for an update. Turns out I was using v1.34.1080.

I will report back if I have similar a similar question with the latest version.
