Disk Cleanup (ClLEANMGR): Problem with Settings ?
Posted by Youka on February 24th, 2008


I've setup "CLEANMGR /sageset:1" with my Disk Cleanup utility choices.

However, when I run "CLEANMGR /sagerun1" , it doesn't appear as though all
of my selections are being processed, based upon the "Cleaning" message that
appears at the bottom of the "Disk Cleanup" window.

For example, even though I checked off "Old Chkdsk files", no "Cleaning:
Old Chkdsk Files" message is ever displayed/flashed across the bottom of the
window.

Do I need to think about reinstalling/restoring my Disk Cleanup utility?

Also, I noticed that my "CLEANMGR /sageset:1" choices do not sync up with
what is displayed when I access my Disk Cleanup utility via "My Computer"
[Local Disk | Properties | Disk CleanUp|

What am I missing here?

Thanks, Eric. But that was just a typo in my post. Sorry!

I can run "CLEANMGR /sagerun:1" , but it just doesn't appear as though all
of my drive cleanup selections are being processed.

To put it another way:

1) I don't understand why the options I've specified via "CLEANMGR
/sageset:1" don't seem to be processed (e.g., there's no "Cleaning: Old
Chkdsk Files" message displayed) when I run "CLEANMGR /sagerun:1" and

2) Why is it that the drive cleanup options I've specified via "CLEANMGR
/sageset:1" (such as "Old Chkdsk files") aren't shown when I run
