cleanmgr.exe, missing in action in Windows 2008 Server
In Windows Server 2008 I needed to clean up some space on my computer. Where was cleanmgr.exe - my faithful friend, which although underpowered and irritating in user experience, has been aroud since Windows 95? (Microsoft sweat their software assets dont they - doesnt stop us buying it over and over again but thats another story).
Disk Cleanup was simply not installed
The answer is simple. Its not installed. Its now an optional 'Feature'.
To get Disk Cleanup and a whole lot of other cruft back you have to install a Feature called 'Desktop Experience'.
Installing Disk Cleanup on Windows 2008 Server
To install desktop experience, Open Server Manager, Choose Add feature, then Select Desktop Experience to be installed.
Job done. Cleanup is back.
