Очистка временных файлов windows 2008 r2

Утилита очистки диска (Disk Cleanup) позволяет администратору быстро очистить системный диск Windows Server, удалив ненужные и временные файлы, в том числе очистить каталог WinSxS от файлов устаревших компонентов, которые остались после установки обновлений. Утилита Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) по умолчанию уже установлена в графической версии Windows Server 2016/2019 (Desktop Experience), однако в предыдущих версиях Windows Server (2012 R2/ 2012/ 2008 R2) утилита cleanmgr.exe по-умолчанию отсутствует.

Очистка диска с помощью Disk Cleanup в Windows Server 2016

Чтобы очистить системный диск от ненужных файлов в Windows Server 2016 с помощью утилиты Disk Cleanup, нужно в File Explorer открыть свойства диска и нажать кнопку Disk Cleanup.

Также можно в поисковой строке набрать «disk cleanup» или cleanmgr.exe.

Выберите диск, который вы хотите очистить.

Дождитесь пока мастер очистки проверит ваш диск и найдет ненужные файлы, которые можно безболезненно удалить.

Вы можете выбрать компоненты, файлы которых можно удалить. Вам предлагается удалить следующие временные файлы:

• Setup Log Files
• Downloaded Program Files
• Temporary Internet Files
• Recycle Bin
• Temporary files
• Thumbnails

Чтобы удалить ненужные системные файлы нажмите на кнопку Clean up system files.

Дополнительно предлагается очистить:

• Устаревшие файлы Windows Defender
• System archived Windows Error Reporting (каталог C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsWERReportQueue)
• System queued Windows Error Reporting
• Device driver packages
• Windows Update Cleanup — при этом выполняется очистка хранилища компонентов в каталоге WinSxS. Удаляются старые версии компонентов, которые остались после установки обновленных версий.

Выберите нужные опции, при этом Disk Cleanup покажет количество места, которое освободится. Нажмите Ок и подтвердите удаление временных файлов.

Дождитесь, пока утилита cleanmgr.exe удалит ненужные файлы.

Очистка диска с помощью cleanmgr.exe из командной строки

Утилита
cleanmgr.exe
имеет различные параметры командной строки, которые позволяют использовать ее в различных сценариях автоматической очистки системного диска. Их можно использовать как в Windows Server, так и на рабочих станциях пользователей с Windows 10.

cleanmgr [/d driveletter] [/SAGESET:n | /SAGERUN:n | TUNEUP:n | /LOWDISK | /VERYLOWDISK | /SETUP | /AUTOCLEAN]

Ключ
/AUTOCLEAN
используется для очистки старых файлов, оставшихся после апгрейда билда Windows. Параметр
/SETUP
позволяет удалить файлы, оставшиеся от предыдущей версии Windows (если вы выполняли in-place upgrade).

Команда
cleanmgr /LOWDISK
– запускает графический интерфейс Disk Cleanup с уже выбранными параметрами очистки.

Команда
cleanmgr /VERYLOWDISK
выполняет автоматическую очистку, а после окончания оторажает информацией о выполненных действиях и свободном месте.

You have successfully resolved the low disk space condition. Your C: volume now has 10000 Mb of free space remaining.

С помощью параметров
/sageset:n
и
/sagerun:n
вы можете создать и выполнить настроенный набор параметров очистки.

Например, выполните команду
cleanmgr /sageset:11
. В открывшемся окне выберите компоненты и файлы, которые нужно автоматически очищать (я выбрал все опции).

Эти настройки сохраняются в ветке реестра HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerVolumeCaches. В этой ветке перечислены все компоненты Windows, которые можно очистить с помощью Disk Cleanup. Для каждой опции, которую вы выбрали создается параметр типа DWORD с именем StateFlags0011 (
0011
это число, которое вы указали в параметре sageset).

Чтобы запустить процесс очистки с выбранными параметрами, выполните команду:

cleanmgr /sagerun:11

Если вам нужно настроить автоматическую очистку дисков на компьютерах (или серверах) в домене, вам достаточно экспортировать эту ветку реестра и распространить ее через GPO.

Для автоматического запуска очистки системного диска на рабочих станциях с Windows 10 можно создать задание в планировщике со следующим PowerShell скриптом:

Start-Process -FilePath CleanMgr.exe -ArgumentList '/sagerun:11' -WindowStyle Hidden -Wait

Запуск cleanmgr в Windows Server 2012 R2/ 2008 R2 без установки Desktop Experience

В Windows Server 2012 / R2 и 2008 /R2 по умолчанию не установлена утилита очистки диска Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe). Чтобы воспользоваться утилитой cleanmgr сначала нужно установить отдельный компонент сервера Desktop Experience (Возможности рабочего стола) с помощью Server Manager или PowerShell (
Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
).

Но вместе с Desktop Experience устанавливается множество других компонентов, которые абсолютно не нужны на сервере:

• Windows Media Player
• Темы рабочего стола
• Поддержка AVI для Windows
• Windows SideShow
• Windows Defender
• Disk Cleanup
• Sync Center
• Запись звука
• Character Map
• Snipping Tool

Для запуска мастера очистки дисков в Windows Server можно воспользоваться более простым методом: достаточно скопировать в системный каталог два файла из каталога WinSxS: Cleanmgr.exe и Cleanmgr.exe.mui. Ниже представлены команды для копирования файлов cleanmgr из каталога WinSxS для разных версий Windows Server (во всех случаях используется путь для английских редакций ОC).

Windows Server 2012 R2 x64

Рассмотренный выше трюк не работает в Windows Server 2012 R2 из-за изменений, внесенных обновлением KB2821895. Дело в том, что после установки данного обновления для хранения бинарных файлов компонентов стала использоваться компрессия. При попытке запустить скопированный cleanmgr.exe появляется ошибка:

The Program or feature ??C:Windowssystem32cleanmgr.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit version of Windows

В качестве обходного решения можно воспользоваться такой методикой:

1. Установить компонент Windows Desktop Experience:
   Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
2. Перезагрузить сервер;
3. Скопировать файлы %windir%system32cleanmgr.exe и %windir%system32en-UScleanmgr.exe.mui в произвольный каталог (c:temp)
4. Удалить компонент:
   Uninstall-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience
5. Перезагрузка;
6. Скопировать файлы cleanmgr.exe и cleanmgr.exe.mui в указанные выше каталоги

В дальнейшем эти два файла можно скопировать и на все другие сервера или интегрировать в шаблоны виртуальных машин с Windows Server 2012 R2.

Ссылка на скачивание готового комплекта файлов cleanmgr.exe.mui + cleanmgr.exe для Windows Server 2012 R2 на ЯндексДиске (thks Alex Kornev).

Для запуска утилиты очистки диска теперь достаточно выполнять с правами администратора команду
cleanmgr.exe
.

Использование Disk Cleanup в Windows Server Core

В Windows Server Core 2016, в котором отсутствует полноценный графический интерфейс, утилита Disk Cleanup также не установлена. Если вы хотите использовать cleanmgr.exe для очистки диска в Server Core, достаточно скопировать следующие файлы из каталога WinSXS:

copy C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft-windows-cleanmgr_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.0_none_9ab8a1dc743e759acleanmgr.exe C:WindowsSystem32

I am unable to free space on my server C drive. Have activated the desktop experience service and running disk cleanup. This freed a very small disk volume after removing all the previous updates. The defragmentation did not help much either and continued to remain 52% fragmented after running through a full cycle multiple times. The windows folder on the C drive is currently 92 GB!! I believe it is occupying a lot of volume. What should i be doing now. Do I need to add in more hard disks?

First published on TechNet on May 13, 2014

It’s finally here! After pages and pages of comments from you requesting the ability to clean up the WinSxS directory and component store on Windows Server 2008 R2, an update is available.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2852386

As a refresher, the Windows Server 2008 R2 update is directly related to my previous blog post announcing a similar fix for Windows 7 client .

The Windows 7 version of this fix introduced an additional option to the Disk Cleanup wizard that would cleanup previous versions of Windows Update files. KB2852386 adds a Disk Cleanup option on Windows Server 2008 R2, similar to the Windows 7 update.

What does this mean for Windows Server 2008 R2? After installing this update and prior to being able to perform the cleanup, the Desktop Experience feature must be installed. Why you ask? Disk Cleanup is not installed by default on Windows Server 2008 R2. It is instead a component installed with the Desktop Experience feature.

Why was the update not included as a DISM switch like Windows Server 2012 R2?

This was evaluated, however, due to the amount of changes required and the rigorous change approval process, it was not feasible to back port the functionality this way. Knowing that it would be some time before everyone could upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 and based on feedback from an internal survey taken of a subset of enterprise customers, it was determined that this update would still be useful in its Disk Cleanup form, even with the Desktop Experience prerequisite. We hope you agree. However, we are aware that for some of you, the Desktop Experience requirement will be a deal breaker, but decided to release it anyway hoping it will help in some instances.

How can I get the update?

The update is available on Windows Update. It can also be manually downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog . The KB article listed above will also direct you to a download link in the Microsoft Download Center.

Let’s Cleanup those Old Windows Update Files!

First, let’s take a look at our starting point. Looking at my Windows 2008 R2 Server with SP1 installed, according to Windows Explorer, the size of my Windows/WinSxS directory is as follows:

The size of the WinSxS directory will vary by server. Some of you will have smaller WinSxS directories, some larger.

Installing the update is just like installing any other update. Just download and double-click on the .msu file:

Installing the update does not require Desktop Experience to be installed beforehand, but if you check your WinSxS directory again, you’ll see there has been no change to the size. This is expected as we need to run Disk Cleanup in order for this to take effect. It also does not require a reboot to install the hotfix.

But…we can’t do anything with what we just installed until we get Disk Cleanup which is installed with the Desktop Experience feature.

When installing Desktop Experience, it does require additional features. Select the button to Add Required Features and click Next and then Install:

A reboot is required to finalize the install.

Click Close and Reboot when prompted.

After we reboot, a Disk Cleanup option can be found under Start —> All Programs —> Accessories —> System Tools:

On launch, Disk Cleanup prompts for the drive you want to clean up:

After clicking Ok, a scan is performed:

Several options are provided for cleanup, including a new option for Windows Update Cleanup:

Just like the Windows 7 cleanup, mileage will vary. Also like Windows 7, the actual cleanup occurs during the next reboot. After the reboot, taking a look at the WinSxS directory, it has shrunk to the following:

Automation

My super knowledgeable scripting cohort Tom Moser wrote a PowerShell script that automates THE ENTIRE PROCESS. Can I get a cheer? Ok. So maybe it is a bit much to expect IT admins to cheer, but can I get an appreciative grunt?  The script certainly beats the alternative of doing this all manually.

You can find the script on the TechNet Script Center here:

http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/CleanMgrexeKB2852386-83d7a1ae

What does the script do?

In short, the script does the following:

1) Installs Desktop Experience, if not previously installed, and performs a reboot.

2) Sets the appropriate registry keys to automate the cleanup. The script will cleanup not only previous Windows Update files as well as Service Pack files.

3) The script then initiates the cleanup.

4) If Desktop Experience was not previously installed, the script uninstalls it.

5) Performs final reboot.

For more details, read below.

The script can be run from any directory on the server. It has two parameters: LogPath and a switch called NoReboot. LogPath will allow the user to specify a log location or if none is specified, by default, the script will create a log in the same directory from which the script was executed. NoReboot allows the user to suppress reboots, but will require manual reboots by an administrator.

Note : Make sure to check the log file to verify the process completed successfully and to verify there is no manual interaction required. If the script has completed successfully, the log will end with CleanMgr complete .

The script has several phases, using a registry key to keep track of progress. After initial run, it inserts itself as a scheduled task, which runs as local system. The final phase removes the task.

Depending on pending reboots, etc, we have found that this phase may generate a few reboots. Do not be concerned if the server reboots a few times.

Other Options

Aside from the cleanup mechanism included with this fix, if you have applied SP1 and have not cleaned up afterwards, I’d highly recommend doing so by running the following command from an administrative command prompt:

dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded

or

If you have installed the Desktop Experience feature and thus have the Disk Cleanup utility, you can select the following option to do the same thing:

Specifying the /spsuperceded switch or choosing to remove service pack backup files will remove the ability to uninstall the service pack. If you haven’t done it before, it is certain to free up some space.

The Origins of this Update (Hint: Windows Server 2012 R2)

I’ve mentioned a couple of times that this is a back port. What does that mean? Well, it means that this functionality is already built into a later operating system. In this case, that operating system is Windows Server 2012 R2. Not only do we have several mechanisms to automatically cleanup previous versions of Windows Update files like this update does, we even have the ability to more accurately determine the size of the component store (aka the WinSxS directory).

The command to accurately determine the size of the component store on Windows Server 2012 R2 is as follows:

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

Running this command analyzes the component store to determine the size and whether cleanup is recommended. Notice in the screen shot that it provides you with the Windows Explorer reported size and the actual size:

Notice that the component store is much smaller than Windows Server 2008 R2 right out of the gate? This isn’t because I’ve used Features on Demand to remove roles and features. It’s because by default in Windows Server 2012 R2, we compress all unused binaries. Another win for Windows Server 2012 R2!

Looking at the breakdown of the 5.12GB. We see that Shared with Windows accounts for 3.83GB of the 5.12GB. Shared with Windows refers to the size of the files that are hardlinked between the WinSxS directory and the Windows location of the file. Because these hardlinks appear to take up space, but don’t really, we can subtract them from our component store size. Therefore, the actual size of the component store is the total of Backups and Disabled Features plus Cache and Temporary Data or 1.28GB.

But back to our cleanup.

In the above screen shot, it’s stated that component store cleanup is recommended. We can manually cleanup the component store on Windows Server 2012 R2 by running the following command:

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

What does this do? When this runs, Windows cleans up the previous versions of the component that was updated. In other words, it is doing exactly what our update does for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. It removes previous versions of the files updated by Windows Updates.

After running /StartCompomentCleanup, upon analyzing the size again, we see it is as follows:

So no notable difference really. Largely because we’ve been running this cleanup all along. This same command is run every 30 days as a scheduled task with a time limit of 1 hour.

With the scheduled task however, the task will wait at least 30 days after an updated component has been installed before uninstalling the previous versions of the component. This scheduled task can be found in Task Scheduler under the Task Scheduler LibraryMicrosoftWindowsServicingStartComponentCleanup directory:

More information on this can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn251565.aspx

If you’re in all out spring cleaning mode and want to perform super deep cleanup, you can use the /resetbase command with the /startcomponentcleanup to remove all superseded versions of every component in the component store:

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

This removes the ability to uninstall any updates applied until this point in time.

And don’t forget the ability to completely remove any role or feature which also reduces the size. Take a look at one of my earlier blogs for more details on Features on Demand: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/02/24/how-to-reduce-the-size-of-the-winsxs-direc…

Here’s a handy table showing when we introduced the various different cleanup and WinSxS size reductions by operating system:

Want more information on how all this works under the covers?

Check out the following series on the AskCore team blog for an in-depth look at servicing improvements on Windows Server 2012 R2:

What’s New in Windows Servicing: Part 1

What’s New in Windows Servicing: Reduction of Windows Footprint : Part 2

What’s New in Windows Servicing: Service Stack Improvements: Part 3

More on the Desktop Experience Feature

The Desktop Experience feature includes the following components and features:

* Windows Media Player

* Desktop themes

* Video for Windows (AVI support)

* Windows SideShow

* Windows Defender

* Disk Cleanup

* Sync Center

* Sound Recorder

* Character Map

* Snipping Tool

* Ink Support

Most of these are not automatically turned on with the exception of Windows Defender whose service is started after reboot. You’ll likely want to stop the service and disable it after reboot. Not all 3rd party anti-viruses conflict with Windows Defender, but there have been reports that some do.

~ Charity Shelbourne and Tom Moser, Spring cleaning servers since 1998

Update May 15th, 2014

We are aware of a method of copying in the appropriate Disk Cleanup/CleanMgr files into the appropriate location to avoid installing the Desktop Experience. If this were a tested and supported option, we certainly would have included these details in this post and definitely would have used this method to automate the cleanup. However, it was determined early on that this method would not be supported. If you decide to do this, do so at your own risk.

После появления предупреждение о нехватке места на диске выскакивает на сервере Windows 2008, это означает, что системный диск C заполнен и не хватает свободного места. В этой ситуации вам лучше попытаться решить эту проблему как можно быстрее, потому что операционная система сразу работает намного медленнее. Это может привести к неожиданной перезагрузке сервера, сбою системы или потере данных. Когда появляется предупреждающее сообщение «Недостаточно места на диске» и место на диске заканчивается, наиболее важными являются 2 шага: освободить место на диске и расширить диск C как можно больше.

Освободить дисковое пространство в Windows Server 2008 R2 легко, и существует множество способов, здесь я расскажу о 6 наиболее распространенных способах.

1. Удалите временные файлы, чтобы освободить место на диске

Нажмите Начать > Run, ввод «% Temp%»Или шаг за шагом открыть каталог« C: Users Administrator AppData Local Temp »

2. Удалите старые теневые копии.

Откройте «Мой компьютер», щелкните правой кнопкой мыши диск C, выберите Объявления, перейдите на вкладку «Теневые копии», удалите старые тома.

3. Очистите корзину и уменьшите размер диска

Очистите корзину, чтобы удалить неиспользуемые файлы, но перед этим вам лучше еще раз проверить, можно ли удалить эти файлы навсегда.

Чтобы уменьшить размер использования диска корзины:

Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши Корзина> ОбъявленияВы можете легко настроить размер.

4. Очистите или уменьшите использование диска в веб-браузерах для кэшированных файлов.

Каждый веб-браузер имеет область настроек или опций для настройки временных интернет-файлов и использования кэша.

5. Удалить старые вещи

Просто зайдите в «Установка и удаление программ» или «Программы и компоненты» и приведите в порядок. Скорее всего, там куча старого дерьма, занимающего место.

6. Запустите утилиту очистки диска Windows.

Чтобы освободить место на диске в Windows Server 2008 r2, лучший вариант — запустить Очистка диска который является родным инструментом Windows. Он может быстро и безопасно удалить большую часть нежелательных и ненужных файлов с вашего сервера. Конечно, вы можете использовать стороннее программное обеспечение для оптимизации системы, но, на мой взгляд, Disk Cleanup достаточно для выполнения этой задачи.

Действия по освобождению дискового пространства в Windows Server 2008 R2 с помощью очистки диска:

1. Нажмите Начать -> Выполнить -> введите cleanmgr -> нажмите Enter.
2. Выберите диск C: и нажмите ОК.
3. Установите флажки напротив файлов, которые вы хотите удалить.
4. Подтвердите эту операцию.
5. Повторите шаг 1 и нажмите Очистить системный файл на шаге 3.

Если не удается освободить более 20 ГБ свободного места, диск C может снова заполниться через короткое время, поскольку новые ненужные файлы создаются постоянно. Чтобы полностью решить эту проблему, вам лучше продолжить следующие шаги:

• Устанавливать программы в отдельный раздел, не закидывать все на диск C.
• Измените путь загрузки и кэширования приложений по умолчанию.
• Если вы включаете точку резервного копирования и восстановления Windows, не устанавливайте ее слишком большой.
• Регулярно удаляйте кэши и временные файлы с помощью утилиты очистки Windows.
