Articles get their own address (shareable, back/forward work); the list is searchable by title and text, shows the article count, and is grouped into Applications and Troubleshooting & Guides via a hidden category line set from the editor. PDF export lays out at page width with page breaks, a title block and page numbers; Print uses the browser's vector print. Inline code is a pill that glows blue on hover, blockquotes no longer squeeze, and GitHub-style [!NOTE] alerts render. [[Badge]] syntax inside code spans is left alone.

# Device Storage Remediation
|
|
|
|
USMT needs free space on the source device for its working files. Devices under about **15 GB free** often fail the backup. USMT Dash shows free space in the **USMT Status** table.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Remove stale profiles
|
|
1. Press **Win**, type *About your PC*, open **Advanced system settings**.
|
|
2. Under **User Profiles** click **Settings**.
|
|
3. Delete profiles named *Account Unknown* and profiles of users who no longer use the device. **Never** delete the current user's profile.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Clear temp folders
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Remove-Item "$env:WinDir\Temp\*" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
Remove-Item "C:\Temp\*" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 3. Clear the ConfigMgr cache
|
|
Control Panel > **Configuration Manager** > *Cache* tab > **Configure Settings** > **Delete Files** > *Delete persisted content*.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Rebuild the search index (if Windows.edb is huge)
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Stop-Service WSearch -Force
|
|
Remove-Item "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb" -Force
|
|
Start-Service WSearch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 5. Disk Cleanup
|
|
Run `cleanmgr /sageset:1` once to tick every category, then `cleanmgr /sagerun:1`.
|
|
|
|
After cleanup, use **Force Update** in USMT Dash (click the status button in the top bar) to refresh the free-space reading.
