Invoke-DiskCleanupScan.ps1
`Invoke-DiskCleanupScan.ps1` is a PowerShell script for recovering disk space on Windows Server 2016 through current versions. It performs a full scan of the C: drive across all known bloat sources, presents a grouped findings report with sizes, then requires explicit user confirmation before touching anything.
Supports: **Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025**
Requires: **Run as Administrator**
---
## Features
- Full pre/post drive capacity reporting
- Grouped scan results with colour-coded size indicators
- Interactive cleanup mode — clean all, pick individually, or exit
- **Event log backup to Zipline (pebkac.pro) before any wipe**
- IIS log cleanup scoped to files older than 30 days
- Delivery Optimisation cache cleanup with safe service stop/start
- PS 5.1 compatible — no PowerShell 7 required

## What It Scans
| Category | Target |
|---|---|
| Temp Files | `C:\Windows\Temp`, `$env:TEMP`, User AppData Temp |
| Windows Update | `SoftwareDistribution\Download`, `WinSxS\Backup` |
| System Logs | `C:\Windows\Logs\CBS` |
| Error Reporting | WER ReportQueue, ReportArchive, User WER folder |
| Crash Dumps | `C:\Windows\Minidump`, `MEMORY.DMP` |
| Prefetch | `C:\Windows\Prefetch` (*.pf files) |
| Delivery Optimisation | SoftwareDistribution\DeliveryOptimization, NetworkService profile cache |
| IIS Logs | `C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles`, `W3SVC1` (files >30 days) |
| Windows Event Logs | All `.evtx` logs — **backed up before wipe** |
| Recycle Bin | C: Recycle Bin via Shell COM object |
| Cache | Thumbnail cache, Font cache |
| Installer | MSI Patch Cache ⚠️ |
| User Profiles | Non-system profiles in `C:\Users` ⚠️ |
| Legacy | Downloaded Program Files |
> ⚠️ **MSI Patch Cache** — deleting may break MSI repair/uninstall for some applications. Only select this if space is critical and you have installer media available.
> ⚠️ **Old User Profiles** — script flags these for review. Manual verification is strongly recommended before selecting.

## Event Log Backup — Zipline Integration
Before any event log is cleared, the script automatically:
1. Exports all non-empty event logs to `.evtx` files in a temp staging folder
2. Compresses them into a single zip: `HOSTNAME_EventLogs_YYYYMMDD-HHmmss.zip`
3. Uploads the zip to **pebkac.pro** via the Zipline API
4. **Only clears logs if the upload returns HTTP 200/201/204**
5. If upload fails for any reason — logs are NOT wiped, and the local export path is printed
The file URL returned by Zipline is printed to console for reference.
**Upload endpoint:** `https://pebkac.pro/api/upload`
**Auth header:** `authorization: ` (bare token, no `Bearer` prefix — Zipline-specific)
**Extra header:** `x-zipline-original-name: true`
**Response field:** `.files[0].url`

## Usage
```powershell
# Run in an elevated PowerShell session
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
.\Invoke-DiskCleanupScan.ps1
```
### Cleanup Menu
```
[A] Clean ALL items listed above
[S] Select items individually
[X] Exit — do nothing
```
- Choosing **A** requires typing `YES` in full to confirm
- Choosing **S** prompts Y/N per item
- All confirmations require input in the console — nothing runs silently

## Notes & Caveats
- **Event logs**: All logs are cleared when selected. The Zipline backup is the safety net — don't skip it or remove that gate.
- **IIS logs**: Only files older than 30 days are removed. Adjust the `$cutoff` variable in the script if you need a different retention window.
- **Prefetch**: Windows Server typically has Prefetch disabled by default. The script will skip this silently if no `.pf` files are found.
- **WinSxS**: The script removes `WinSxS\Backup` only — it does not touch the main WinSxS store. Running `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup` separately is recommended for deeper WinSxS reduction but requires a maintenance window.
- **Delivery Optimisation**: The `DoSvc` service is stopped briefly during cleanup and restarted. If the server is actively downloading updates this may cause a minor interruption.

## Script Location
Store the script in a consistent admin tools location, e.g.:
```
\\\AdminTools\Scripts\Invoke-DiskCleanupScan.ps1
```
Or maintain in your preferred source control / internal repo.
