deekayen / ansible-role-cleanmgr

Install Desktop Experience and then run Disk Cleanup on Microsoft Windows using Ansible.

Disk Cleanup

Install the Desktop Experience feature and run Disk Cleanup on Microsoft Windows.

Role Variables

Setting the cleanmgr_install_reboot value to true allows Ansible to reboot the target Windows computer after installing the Desktop Experience feature. Ansible doesn't get a result from cleanmgr.exe to know if it should reboot or not, so toggling cleanmgr_cleanmgr_reboot will always or never reboot after running cleanmgr.exe.
