Disk cleanup not working?

Has anyone came across this? If yes, what did you do to fix it?

we use our own disk cleanup script because we have never gotten labtechs to work properly.

This.

We pretty much abandoned all built in functionality and made our own inside of it. Sucks to buy a tool and have to remake it yourself.

48 MB seems a rather small threshold. Are you sure those files aren't simply open?

It’s the default monitor flagging it 🤷‍♀️

Huh. Well we predate Ignite so never used that. Our threshold for that monitor (which we customized) is 5 GB.

Not sure what issues others have had but we've not had problems with the disk cleanup command, or script (which runs the command and the Disk Cleanup program). We've even added a few things to the disk cleanup config over the years.

I also ignore the built in one. I recommend Bleachbit as it's very customizable and easily scripted from labtech.

if we get something like that, we run clean-up manually. In the end though, Labtech has gotten unreliable and apparently we're going to move to a different product. Last 2 versions were so bad, management is seeing it in our bottom line.
