Do we need dedicated system maintenance software on Windows 10 22H2?

No.

I am mainly worried about leftover files that take up space.

You could use the built-in utilities.

And welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]



All the best,
Thanks for the rep,

When I search for a topic I always go to the tutorial tab first in the results. Eleven Forums does not have this functionality which is a great loss. No problem since most of the Windows 10 stuff here applies to Windows 11.

My post #6.

As I stated, I've been surprised at the large files left in places Disk Cleanup does not touch.

I've recommended Wiztree as a way to check. This addresses your question. Good luck.

I perform the installed normal, "Disk Cleanup," every week. Within that software, I make sure it cleans up all old software that was installed, too. Every day I make sure all internet history, cashe, and cookies are deleted when I shut down. Been doing that for a loooong time. For Junk/Spam mail, I DELETE every day, if any. My PC's have not failed over the years or been slowed down by any means.
