PatchCleaner is a dedicated windows 10 disk cleaner software designed to safely clean up Windows update leftovers and the WinSxS folder.
How to use windows 10 disk cleaner software
1. Run the software on your computer.
2. Let it scan the WinSxS folder to find orphaned update files.
3. Choose to delete these files or move them to an external drive.
4. Safely free up 5–20GB of disk space.
As a targeted windows 10 disk cleaner software, it cleans space that standard tools miss without risking system stability.
Cons
- Cannot clean common junk files such as browser cache, temporary files, or application residual data.
- Lacks scheduled automatic cleaning, therefore cannot maintain the optimized state of the WinSxS folder over the long term.
- Can only batch delete or move all detected orphaned files.
