Cleanup Assist: A Safer Way to Reclaim Windows Disk Space
A Windows 11 utility that classifies large folders, explains whether they can be reclaimed, and can move them to another drive without breaking their original paths.
Field notes
The utility combines folder-size scanning with 46 classification rules and installed-app metadata, so a path such as a Blender directory can receive an ownership label instead of remaining unexplained. Its relocation workflow copies data to another drive, creates an NTFS junction, and reportedly retains the original until verification succeeds. The page also shows a concrete 476 GB scan containing 1,284,903 files and flags a 24.8 GB Docker/WSL disk as reclaimable.
