Hi,
Was looking to cleanup some space from my drive using disk cleanup, Came across a bunch of options/files that showed up. Need help on which files are safe to delete without causing any issues to windows. Attaching screenshots of disk cleanup.
Thank you
At times, you may not want to delete files in the Recycle Bin, so be mindful of deleting those.
Rest assured you have nothing to worry about, it is always safe to delete everything listed in the Disk Cleanup utility, that will not have any adverse affects on Windows or your installed software, Windows will only suggest files to delete that can safely be deleted, those files are just logs, error logs, temporary files and files left over from Windows Updates, driver installations/updates and software updates.

My original question was "What files can I safely remove from Windows 11 if I do not wish to use AI?" I don't want my disk full of what, to me, is bloatware.
