Disk Cleanup

                  The Disk Cleanup is a built-in utility in Windows designed to help users free up disk space by
                  removing unnecessary or temporary files from their computer. It targets various types of files
                  that are safe to delete, such as temporary Internet files, system cache files, old Windows update
                  files, and more. Running Disk Cleanup regularly can help ensure that your disk does not become
                  cluttered with unnecessary files, thereby improving system responsiveness and efficiency.
