Need current Win11 cleanup batch script and other
I'm looking for assistance in creating a batch script for Windows 11 that effectively cleans up unnecessary files and optimizes system performance.

One of the biggest rookie mistakes is trying to run a script that needs elevated permissions without actually running it as an administrator. Tasks like deleting system files or clearing the Windows Update cache require admin access.
Solution: Always right-click your batch file and choose "Run as administrator." You can even set it to always run as an admin by going to the file properties and adjusting the settings under the Compatibility tab.
