## Description

WindowsCleaner is a set of administrative utilities for optimizing Windows storage through automated cleanup, file relocation, and system resource management. It functions as a disk cleanup tool and storage manager designed to reclaim space on Windows installations by removing temporary files and system junk.

The tool provides specific capabilities to disable system hibernation to recover reserved disk space and migrate virtual memory paging files to different drives to free up storage on primary partitions.

These operations are supported by system maintenance features that handle registry-based configuration management, file system traversal, and Windows Management Instrumentation querying.
