Microsoft PC Manager's "File Cleanup" feature adds download and duplicate file management functions to easily free up disk space! This article will introduce the improved "File Cleanup" tool in detail.

PC Manager file cleaning enhancements

Microsoft PC Manager is a performance optimization tool for Windows 10 (1809 and later) and Windows 11. The latest version of the "File Cleaning" function has added download files and duplicate file management functions.

The tool was developed by Microsoft, but is not pre-installed for Windows 11 and 10. You need to go to the Microsoft Store to download and install. Currently only available in Asia and the UK.

File cleaning function

Currently three options are available:

• Manage download files
• Manage large files
• Manage duplicate files

The Manage Large Files feature already exists in the old version, with the remaining two options being new.

Manage download files

This feature can find and manage downloaded files in Windows 10 and 11. All files from download sources are displayed by default.

Searches can be narrowed by selecting a specific file type and download source.

After selecting a file, the Move and Permanent Delete buttons will appear at the right corner of the bottom.

• Click the "Move" button to move the file to another location.
• Click the "Permanent Delete" button to permanently delete the file and bypass the Recycle Bin.

Manage large files

This feature is used to delete large files to free up disk space.

Improved functionality scans large files in all disks, including internal and external disks, and displays file sizes.

The scan results will display files larger than 10MB and will be displayed by type and size.

After selecting a file, the "Move" and "Permanent Delete" buttons will also appear.

Manage duplicate files

This feature can find and delete duplicate files.

The scan results show the location and size of the duplicate files. After selecting the file, click the "Move" or "Permanent Delete" button.

How to recover permanently deleted files?

The permanently deleted files bypass the Recycle Bin and cannot be recovered from the Recycle Bin. But you can use third-party data recovery software, such as MiniTool Power Data Recovery, to try recovery.

The improved PC Manager File Cleanup feature is more practical and helps you free up Windows PC disk space easily.
