Disable Storage Sense automatic cleanup

StorageSafe riskReversible

Sets AllowStorageSenseGlobal = 0 (policy). Storage Sense periodically wakes to scan and delete temp files, recycle-bin contents, and old Downloads on a schedule. Disabling it stops those background disk scans and the surprise deletions. You can still run Disk Cleanup manually any time. Safe and reversible.

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
