Disk Clean up - Powershell

Dear Readers,

It has been quite long time, I have not shared anything via blog. My sincere apologies on that. Here after I have decided to shared things now and then.

In this post, I am sharing powershell script for disk cleanup.


$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID='C:'"
$freespace=$disk.FreeSpace;
$inmb=$freespace/1GB;
$mb= "{0:N0}" -f $inmb;
Write-Host "Free Space in the Disk C is $mb MB";
if($mb -gt 100)
{
Write-Host "The Disk has enough Free Space"
break;
}
else
{
Write-Host "The Disk Needs to be cleaned"
}
Write-Host "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"
Write-Host "Disk Cleaning Activity is Initiated";
Remove-Item $TEMP -Force -Verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$folderinfo = Get-ChildItem $TEMP | Measure-Object
if($folderinfo.Count -gt 0)
{
Write-Host "1.Temp Files are not cleaned"
}else
{
Write-Host "1.Temp Files have been cleaned"
}
Clear-RecycleBin -Force -Verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Write-Host "2.Recycle Bin has been cleaned"


$path1 = "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files"
Get-childItem $path1 -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |Remove-Item -Recurse -exclude *.ini -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$folderinfo2 = Get-ChildItem $path1 | Measure-Object
if($folderinfo2.Count -gt 0)
{
Write-Host "3.Downloaded Program Files is not cleaned fully"
}else
{
Write-Host "3.Downloaded Program Files has been cleaned fully"
}


$path2 = "C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive"
Get-ChildItem $path2 -Force -Recurse -Verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |Remove-Item -Recurse -exclude *.ini -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$folderinfo3 = Get-ChildItem $path2 | Measure-Object
if($folderinfo3.Count -gt 0)
{
Write-Host "4.Report Archives is not cleaned fully"
}else
{
Write-Host "4.Report Archives has been cleaned fully"
}

Remove-Item -path C:\Windows\*.dmp -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -force
Write-Host "5.DMP Files has been removed";

$Path3 = "C:\Windows\offlinewebpages";
get-childItem $Path3 -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |Remove-Item -Recurse -exclude *.ini -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$folderinfo4 = Get-ChildItem $path2 | Measure-Object
if($folderinfo4.Count -gt 0)
{
Write-Host "5.Offline Webpages is not cleaned fully"
}else
{
Write-Host "5.Offline Webpages has been cleaned fully"
}

$disk2 = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID='C:'"
$freespace2=$disk2.FreeSpace;
$inmb2=$freespace2/1GB;
$mb2= "{0:N0}" -f $inmb2;
Write-Host "Free Space in the Disk C is $mb2 MB";
if($mb -gt 100)
{
Write-Host "The Disk has enough Free Space"
break;
}
else
{
Write-Host "The Disk Needs to be cleaned to cleaned manually"
}

I will sharing much more scripts in the days to come.

Thank you.
