Disk Clean-up (cleanmgr.exe) is a computer maintenance utility included in Microsoft Windows designed to free up disk space on a computer's hard drive. The utility first searches and analyzes the hard drive for files that are no longer of any use, and then removes the unnecessary files. There are a number of different file categories that Disk Clean-up targets when performing the initial disk analysis:
- Compression of old files
- Temporary Internet files
- Temporary Windows files
- Downloaded program files
- Recycle Bin
- Removal of unused applications or optional Windows components
- Setup log files
- Offline web pages (cached)
- WinSxS (Windows component store)
The above list, however, is not exhaustive. For instance, 'Temporary Remote Desktop files' and 'Temporary Sync Files' may appear only under certain computer configurations, differences such as Windows Operating System and use of additional programs such as Remote Desktop. The option of removing hibernation data may not be ideal for some users as this may remove the hibernate option.
Aside from removing unnecessary files, users also have the option of compressing files that have not been accessed over a set period of time. This option provides a systematic compression scheme. Infrequently accessed files are compressed to free up disk space while leaving the frequently used files uncompressed for faster read/write access times. If after file compression, a user wishes to access a compressed file, the access times may be increased and vary from system to system.In addition to the categories that appear on the Disk Clean-up tab, the More Options tab offers additional options for freeing up hard drive space through removal of optional Windows components, installed programs, and all but the most recent System Restore point or Shadow Copy data in some versions of Microsoft Windows.
Starting with Windows 10 version 1803 (RS4), the capabilities of Disk Clean-up are incorporated into Windows 10's Settings app.[1] The standalone Disk Clean-up tool itself is still included.
Microsoft announced that Disk Clean-up utility is Deprecated:
The Disk Cleanup experience (“cleanmgr.exe”) is being deprecated. We’re retaining the Disk Cleanup tool for compatibility reasons. There’s no need to worry since Storage Sense’s functionality is a superset of what the legacy Disk Cleanup provides!
Since Windows 10 version 1809 (RS5), the utility was renamed to 'Disk Clean-up'. It was previously named 'Disk Cleanup'.

These are ways to reduce the amount of storage space used by removing or deleting different types of information from customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation). Use one or more of these methods to control your total data storage usage. You can delete certain categories of data as the need arises, or you can set up bulk deletion jobs to reoccur at set intervals.
Warning
The suggestions in this topic include deleting notes, attachments, import history, and other data. Before you delete data, be sure that the data is no longer needed because you cannot retrieve deleted data. There is no 'undo' to restore your data once it has been deleted. This means it may make more sense for you to increase the amount of storage space you have with your Microsoft Dynamics 365 subscription instead of reducing the amount of storage space used.
Note
- Except for methods 3 and 5, all these methods require that you have an administrator security role, such as System Administrator. This gives you permission to delete records in bulk and to delete system jobs.
- After performing actions to free up storage, the system can take up to 24 hours to update storage information. We recommend waiting up to 24 hours and monitoring your storage.
- Storage consumed does not directly correspond to the size reported in Microsoft Dataverse for Apps; consumption includes additional storage for metadata and encryption. For example, removing 10MB of storage from a file does not mean the file size is reduced by 10MB.
- Some platform operations require you to wait 24-36 hours to confirm data size changes. Such operations include but are not limited to upgrades to new versions and introduction of new workflows. Such operations require system adjustments that might result in a momentary size increase report.

Method 2: Evaluate and delete suspended workflows
Sometimes workflows will enter a suspended state because there is a condition that will never be met or some other reason that will not allow the workflow to continue.
Warning
Some workflows will be in a suspended state because they are waiting for a condition that has not yet been met, which is expected. For example, a workflow may be waiting for a task to be completed.
Choose Advanced Find.
In the Look for list, select System Jobs.
In the search criteria area, add criteria similar to the following:
System Job Type – Equals – Workflow
Status Reason – Equals – Waiting

In the results window, you can open each item to determine whether the workflow can be deleted.
Method 7: Remove bulk duplicate detection jobs and associated copies of duplicate records
Every time that a duplicate detection job runs, a copy of each duplicate record is stored in the database as part of the duplicate detection job. For example, if you have 100 duplicate records, every time that you run a duplicate detection job that finds these duplicates, whether it is manual or reoccurring, those 100 duplicate records will be stored in the database under that instance of that duplicate job until the duplicates are merged or deleted, or until the instance of that duplicate detection job is deleted.
Go to Settings > Data Management.
Choose Duplicate Detection Jobs.
Select the duplicate detection job instances you want to delete and then choose Delete (X).
To avoid wasting storage space, make sure duplicates are resolved promptly so that they are not reported in multiple duplicate detection jobs.
Method 8: Delete bulk import instances using a bulk deletion job
Every time you perform a bulk import, there is a system job associated with that import. The system job details show which records imported successfully and which records failed.
Warning
After you delete these bulk import jobs, you will not be able to see what data was imported and you cannot roll back the import.
Go to Settings > Data Management.
Choose Bulk Record Deletion, and then in the menu bar, choose New. This opens the Bulk Deletion Wizard.
Choose Next.
In the Look for list, select System Jobs.
In the search criteria area, add criteria similar to the following:
System Job Type – Equals – Import
Status Reason – Equals – Succeeded
Completed On – Older Than X Months – 1
Group the three criteria rows:
Choose the arrow next to each criteria row, and then choose Select Row.
With all three rows selected, choose Group AND.
Choose Next.
In the Name text box, type a name for the bulk deletion job.
Select a date and time for the job start time; preferably a time when users are not in customer engagement apps.
Select the Run this job after every check box, and then in the days list, select the frequency you want the job to run.
If you want a notification e-mail sent, select the Send an email to me (email@domain.com) when this job is finished check box.

Warning
After you delete these jobs, you will lose the history of the prior bulk deletion jobs that you've run.
Go to Settings > Data Management.
Choose Bulk Record Deletion, and then in the menu bar, choose New. This opens the Bulk Deletion Wizard.
Choose Next.
In the Look for list, select System Jobs.
In the search criteria area, add criteria similar to the following:
System Job Type – Equals – Bulk Delete
Status Reason – Equals – Succeeded
Completed On – Older Than X Months – 1
Note
