Yes, the files are definitely there in that view. Your guess about disk cleanup is probably right and easy to test. I've never done that ... I'm a total control freak. I really hate software that messes with my system behind the scenes. "Smart" software that pretends to understand what I need and don't need has typically been a disaster for me so I steer clear of it. I never put any of that stuff on autopilot. I run it manually to see what it thinks it's going to do. And I won't ever use anything that doesn't give me a preview of what it's planning to do and the ability to override it before it does it.
Can you set up "Excludes" in it? E.g. tell it to keep its paws off files of a certain name or type or in a certain folder?

There's no settings for disc clean up, it's a windows system tool. I manually run it before shut down. I believe I can move the files to a folder and change the pathway so that it points to the new location of the files.
I think my next puter is going to be sporting Linux. At least with Linux, I'll have complete control of my OS.
