Storage Sense should be off on Windows 10 and later by default, but if you want to be sure it's disabled, here is a PowerShell script to do so (must run in elevated) -
Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\StorageSense” -Name “AllowStorageSenseGlobal” -Value 0
Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\StorageSense” -Name “AllowStorageSenseGlobal” -Value 0

as a side effect of the script i wrote, i noticed that there were many irrelevant scheduled tasks failing (such as StorageSense). 🤔 how deep will this rabbit hole go because i added a pipe to my copy command?

StorageSense only deletes from your Downloads, Recycle, and Temp folders, and if things are synced to your MS account *and* you're low on disk space *and* you haven't touched them in a month, it moves files to "cloud only" so it downloads them again if you need them.
It doesn't touch anything else.

💾 Windows can clean up storage AUTOMATICALLY! Settings → System → Storage → Storage Sense — toggle it ON! Set it to run daily, weekly, or monthly to delete temp files, empty Recycle Bin, and clear Downloads folder! Free up GBs hands-free! 🧹
