With Windows 10 20H2 update, which is expected to release later this year, Microsoft is also planning to introduce ‘cleanup recommendations’ in Storage Sense to help you remove your recent, large or unused files.

Storage Sense to get better with 20H2 update

If you’re worried about losing your useful files, you should back up your data to OneDrive so you’re prepared in case the worst happens.Īs we highlighted above, Microsoft has made these changes with May 2020 Update for Windows 10, which is being rolled out in phases and it appears to be blocked from installing on incompatible hardware including Surface products. In the next screen, select the ‘Downloads’ folder and click on ‘Remove files’. Download and run it just once - the difference will be instantly. If you want to free up your downloads folder, head to the Settings app > System > Storage and click on ‘Temporary files’. DiskMax is a powerful disk cleanup and Windows performance optimization application. It’s also worth pointing out that Microsoft hasn’t removed Downloads folder option in Windows 10’s Storage Sense, which is a built-in storage management feature that aims to help you free up up your storage and better manage your drive space. The May 2020 Update has removed the option of ‘Downloads’ from the Disk Cleanup tool and Microsoft says that it has made the change as a result of feedback from users.
