Windows System Files

If you have a .wim or .esd file, tell dism where to find it...dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:wim:mywinimage.wim:1dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:/mywinimage.esd:1

Space

dism /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore

If Component Store Cleanup is Recommended...

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

In this case, we are prompted to restart. This seems to be because some patch related tasks may be pending. The restart should clear much of the Cache and Temporary Data usage.

Disk Cleanup

You would normally expect to see a Windows Update Cleanup option. Possibly not visible on this test environment because it seems to need a reboot.
