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.
