In the Windows 7 this can be performed with the Following method. Just open the task scheduler from the Windows 7 quick search and then go to the Action menu. After that name the task and give the description of the same and click on next. Select the type of the Schedule that you wish to occur. I have selected the Weekly. Now as i selected the weekly the have to select the time and day for the task. Now on the Action select the start program. And enter the cleanmgr.exe in the start program box which is Disk Clean up. Now click on finish and your computer is scheduled.

Hey thanks for quick response for setting up the Disk Clean up for the Windows 7 and i have gone through but got little only. As i am new for the Windows 7 so have less idea about the use of it. So if you will help me to know about the completed process in detail then it will be helpful for me to perform the same. Also let me know me whether any utility is available to perform the same.

You can also run the same with the help of the command prompt all you have to do is open the console from the Run and the on the command prompt type the command as given below.

cleanmgr.exe /sageset:1

Now this will open the file which you want to delete. /sageset:1 will create the registry entry for the. Now create the task as you have created with the above one. This is the advance option for creating the task. At the time of entering the program script just enter the '/sageset:1' on the 'Add argument'. Thats it.

You don't have to use the utility for the Windows 7 as it is the best way to manege the files on then disk and free up some of the space occupied by the Windows 7 so go with the Windows 7 Disk Cleanup only. You can set the Clean up on any time as it is not right or wrong about the setting up the task. Thats all i have to say about it.
