This is an Insider forum dealing with Beta software with all its faults and quirks.....not something released to John Public to worry about.....Attentiveness by some does seem to be lacking regarding Disk Clean UP....though I do agree the option to delete Downloads is an error by M$ in said program....Judging by amount of complaints on this subject one would expect it to be rectified on next flight.
Agreed, Dencal. The Insider thread is the place to deal with Beta faults and quirks, hence the discussion. Not only is this option out in the wild, it is still in Insider builds, Fast and Skippy. And, there is no separate check box for it. It is grouped under temporary files. It's difficult to separate this ongoing MS error in judgement from the public error in judgment. They are, currently, one and the same. If not corrected or modified in the Insider program, it may well continue in the public build, where it is far more difficult to deal with. So it's not a matter of worry on the public build side as much as concern this will continue if not corrected.

It will only get rectified if enough people upvote. There was a feedback. I encourage users to upvote and add comments

Didn't think about that, but now that you mention it, I'm wondering why I didn't... Thanks.
Yeah, I'm not sure about that as well. But I remember reading that it's different for different computers running different software. I listed a link below to an article that mentions this.

"However, the number of tasks will be different on every computer, as software developers can also build their apps to plug tasks into this feature."
