This Python script allows you to clean temporary files, the %temp% directory, and the prefetch folder on a Windows system. It provides a simple way to free up disk space by removing unnecessary files.
This script is designed to clean temporary files, which can accumulate on a Windows system over time and consume valuable disk space. It provides a prompt to ensure you want to proceed with the cleanup, giving you the option to abort if necessary.
