Thumbs up The 'Hidden' Enhanced Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows Vista

Windows Vista,ofcourse, comes with the built-in disk cleanup tool that helps free up space on your hard-drive when things get crowded in your hard-drive.

But there is also an Enhanced version of the Disk Cleanup tool ! It basically just has more options for you to choose so you can delete some addl files.


to access it just run it or type

cleanmgr /sageset:1

and hit enter.

source.

Its not Easter egg and not new in Vista.

Its not hidden. Disk Cleanup can be accessed from Startmenu as well as Drive properties. But this command extends its capabilities.

bcoz these settings are for power users, who want to free as much space as they can.
So they didnt enable those files by default for normal users.
