What This Script Does
This automated batch script safely cleans up temporary files and cached data that Windows accumulates over time. Most computers have 5-20GB of unnecessary files taking up space—this script removes them in seconds.
What Gets Cleaned

%TEMP%folder clutter - Windows Cache: Prefetch and other system caches

4️⃣ Wait for completion message
5️⃣ Restart your PC (optional but recommended)
Safety Notes
