Why does cleanmgr.exe access the network?
While investigating cleanmgr.exe with the GlassWire network security monitor on our devices based in the USA we found it connects to Microsoft servers settingsfd-geo.trafficmanager.net. We believe it connects so it has the most up to date instructions of what files it should remove from your PC. We blocked the executable with GlassWire’s firewall and we noticed no major problems, but we recommend leaving it unblocked if you think this utility might help keep your hard drive clean.
