Windows 10 will list unused files and apps you can remove


Text to Speech

Windows 10's Storage settings is getting a new feature called "User cleanup recommendations" that recommends a list of unused files and applications that can be removed to free up disk space.

The Windows 10 Storage setting section is the modern version of the Disk Cleanup program and will display how much space is being used by various categories of files and lets you quickly remove them if not needed.

In the latest Windows 10 Insider build 19603, Microsoft has added a new feature called "User cleanup recommendations" that creates a list of personal data files and installed applications that have never been accessed.

When a user clicks on the "See cleanup recommendations" link they will be brought to a page that lets you see unused files and unused applications installed in Windows 10.





This list will be sorted by the date last accessed so you can easily decide if a file or app should be removed or not.

As Microsoft cannot determine what apps or personal files you still need, this feature is very useful as you can quickly spot unnecessary apps or old files that you forgot about and no longer need.

This feature is currently under development and will not be part of the upcoming Windows 10 2014 (20H1) release expected in the coming weeks.
