Hi, This is an advanced configurable cleanup tool / button for directory opus. It's designed to safely clear cache, temp files, recycle bin etc. directly from Directory Opus. It automatically generates a settings.ini file on its first run, allowing you to easily define which folders to empty and how to process them. Feature: - Smart Skipping: Set rules like skip if chrome or skip if steam to prevent the tool from cleaning folders while those specific programs are running. - Age & Pattern Filters: Target specific files by age (e.g., 14d for 14 days, h for hours, w for weeks) or by matching specific filename patterns.# - Service Management: Automatically stop and restart specific Windows services while cleaning their associated cache folders. - Safe & Protected: Built-in safeguards actively refuse to delete drive roots, user profiles, and protected system folders. - Preview Mode: Run a preview pass to scan and calculate how much space would be saved without actually deleting any files. - Admin Support & DISM: Includes a dedicated [AdminPaths] section for system folders that requires UAC elevation, and supports deep Windows Component Cleanup via DISM. - Automated Scheduling: Includes a built-in option to install itself as a scheduled task that runs silently a few minutes after Windows login I hope some of you will find it useful. Have a nice day. [Cleanup.zip](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/short-url/ir46DTyvuXoL9EhN8pDsB3Y0nqJ.zip) (12.6 KB)
