Cleaning up Disk Space

To clear up disk space on clients you first will want to find the folder called ClientScripts on either the C:/ drive or the desktop.
Once found you will want to run the ClearUsersCache, ClearWindowsCache and ClearIEBrowserCache. The Windows Cache will more than likely be the biggest clean up.

Clearing up Adobe Files within Program Data (Note: The Program Data folder may be hidden and need to be unhidden.)
Once you are in the Program Data folder open the Adobe Folder, proceed through ARM. Once in ARM you will see a bunch of folders named "Ready" like "Reader_19.010.20099", you can remove all but the most recent of these folders.

Additionally you can run through these folders/files.
