  Could you wrap cleanmgr in a powershell script?
  
  Here's a resource you could tailor to your needs: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Disk-Cleanup-Using-98ad13bc
  
  Ping me if you need some help with the powershell scripting, I write it as my day job and would be happy to help cobble something together.

  Did either of you successfully deploy a Disk Cleanup? If so I would love to see it.

  To cleanups your disk space there are some software available and my favorite among them is disk space analyzer.

  Ccleaner portable with the /auto option works amazing.

  Hi,

  I need help to figure out how to run this script via PDQ Deploy. In my case it won't run and stuck in the process if I run it as a "Deploy user" but if I run it as a "Logged on User" it works. But, I would like to push this script for all computers over the night and users will not be logged in during that time, I hope it makes sense

   

  # Create reg keys
  $volumeCaches = Get-ChildItem "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches"
  foreach($key in $volumeCaches)
  {
  New-ItemProperty -Path "$($key.PSPath)" -Name StateFlags0099 -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Force | Out-Null
  }

  # Run Disk Cleanup
  Start-Process -Wait "$env:SystemRoot\System32\cleanmgr.exe" -ArgumentList "/sagerun:99"

  # Delete the keys
  $volumeCaches = Get-ChildItem "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches"
  foreach($key in $volumeCaches)
  {
  Remove-ItemProperty -Path "$($key.PSPath)" -Name StateFlags0099 -Force | Out-Null
  }
