How to clean up Windows 10 according to the timetable

On the new versions Windows 10 has provided additional system auto-cleaning features including automatic Recycle Bin and the Downloads folder periodically, about 30 days in the Storage sense section. This helps the computer regain a large amount of the system according to the set schedule.

However, on previous versions of Windows 10, this feature was not provided. However, we can still take advantage of the available settings on the system to clean up the system on schedule. In particular, users do not need third-party cleaning programs such as CCleaner or Clean Master. We only need to do it once and the remaining processes will take place automatically.
