A user asked for PowerShell scripts for hard drive cleanup. There was no success in trying to use PowerShell for full HDD cleanup – it was not performant. As an alternative, batch scripts were developed and they work much faster.

Looking to get the best PowerShell scripts you guys use to clean up Hard Drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx
Our org gave up on trying to use PowerShell for full HDD cleanup.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but we were unable to figure it out.
