For some reason the Disk Cleanup is gone. Can I download
it directly from Microsoft?

Is there some way I can get it back on my computer?

Thanks.
 
Hi Robert,

The Disk Cleanup tool (cleanmgr.exe) is protected by Windows File Protection so it is
unlikely that "Disk Cleanup is gone". Perhaps the default Disk Cleanup shortcut is
gone, though. What happens when you click "Start", click "Run", enter the following
command, and click "OK"?

%SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

If Disk Cleanup runs then create a new shortcut to it in the following folder:

%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools

And if you get an error message, please post it word-for-word.
