Cleanmgr+ Home | Download
Not too much on this as Cleanmgr+ hasn’t been updated in four years and incorrectly states, “Microsoft will be soon removing the Disk Clean-up Tool (Cleanmgr.exe) from Windows 10 PCs.” But, is still a useful tool.

Microsoft Admits Windows 11 Has a Trust Problem, Promises To Focus on Fixes in 2026
“The feedback we’re receiving from our community of passionate customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. We need to improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people,” Pavan Davuluri, president of Windows and devices, told The Verge…”Trust is earned over time and we are committed to building it back with the Windows community,” Davuluri said.
And the perfect reply by crunchy_one in the comments:
I don’t believe Microsoft understands fully what would be “meaningful” to their customers. How about removing the Microsoft account requirement, removing the telemetry, removing the ads, removing the AI, removing the cloud integration, removing the bloat? How about giving customers real control, like being able to turn off updates. That would be meaningful.

Win11 – January 24, 2026—KB5078127 (OS Builds 26200.7628 and 26100.7628) Out-of-band
“This out-of-band update for Windows 11, version 25H2 and 24H2 (KB5078127) is cumulative. It includes updates from previous security and non-security releases, along with an additional fix.“
Initially created for Linux computers, this freeware disk cleaner now does Windows and macOS too. You may recall BleachBit was infamously used to wipe Hillary Clinton’s emails back in 2015. I use BleachBit on both Windows and Linux.
