Download Vacuum for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11 - A free and Open Source app to clean any temporary files over a month old
Vacuum is a free and Open Source app to clean any temporary files over a month old. Vacuum isn't for everyone looking to clean all temporary files, but it might be handy for techs to clean out temporary folders in Windows quickly.
Usage:
Simply execute Vacuum.exe. It will remove any entries in your temp directory that weren't touched in the last month.
"Entry" is either a file or a directory. Directory counts as "touched" if any of its children was touched in the month period. Vacuum considers the following dates when examining the files (as they're reported by the filesystem):
- creation date
- last write date
Main command-line arguments:
(-d|--directory): path to the temporary directory which should be cleaned up. Falls back toPath.GetTempPathby default (which uses certain environment variables to determine the path).(-p|--period): number of days for entry to be untouched before being deleted by Vacuum. 30 by default.(-s|--space) (|k|m)amount of space to clean up (k= kibibytes, m = mebibytes). In space-cleaning mode, Vacuum will still clean up the oldest items first.(-f|--force): forces Vacuum to delete the entries it wasn't able to recycle.
Consult the embedded help system for the detailed parameter manual:
$ Vacuum.exe --help
