CLEANSE

Disk cleanup operations.

Frees disk space across common junk points — user and system temp, the Windows Update download cache (service safely stopped and restarted), the Recycle Bin for all users, and Chrome/Edge/Firefox caches across every profile. Shows estimated space per category, then reports total freed. -WhatIf previews without deleting.

Quick Launch

Run CLEANSE

Run in an elevated PowerShell window. Downloads cleanse.ps1 from CursedTechnocrat/TechnicianToolkit and executes it.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; $f="$(Get-Location)\cleanse.ps1"; irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CursedTechnocrat/TechnicianToolkit/main/cleanse.ps1 -OutFile $f; [IO.File]::WriteAllText($f,[IO.File]::ReadAllText($f,[Text.Encoding]::UTF8),[Text.UTF8Encoding]::new($true)); & $f
