The Disk Cleanup utility operates in the same manner as any other cleaning program. It can delete unnecessary data such as system files, temporary files, and any files that are cluttered inside the computer. Cleanup process can also empty the recycle bin, freeing up some disk space.

- After rebooting, reinstall the driver from the official laptop manufacturer’s support website and see if the 0x0 0x0 error has been resolved.
Install any pending updates.
In most cases, an outdated operating system component is to blame for problems like the one at hand. If this scenario applies, you should be able to resolve the issue by installing the pending updates.
The most recent updates are jam-packed with new features and bug fixes, so you should be able to resolve the issue in no time.

If the 0x0 0x0 error persists, try the next method listed below.
Troubleshoot in the Clean Boot State
A clean boot starts Windows with the bare minimum of drivers and programs, allowing you to determine whether one or more background programs are interfering with your game or application. Clean booting Windows is used to troubleshoot issues caused by automatic Windows updates, software, or device drivers.
Keep in mind one thing, you must be logged in as an Administrator to use the Clean Boot mode to troubleshoot. Start your PC in Safe Mode and see if the 0x0 0x0 error appears. If it does not occur in Safe mode, follow the steps listed below.
- Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
- In the dialogue box’s text field, type msconfig and press Enter. Alternatively, you can type ‘System Configuration’ in the taskbar’s search area and click Open.

Reset Your Computer
You can try resetting your PC to resolve the problem as a last resort. This is almost always the last option for resolving computer issues. It’s a fantastic tool when you’ve exhausted all other troubleshooting options and the problem is related to Windows. This reset process keeps your personal files (if you explicitly choose that method), removes any software you have installed, and then reinstalls Windows, resolving the 0x0 0x0 error.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Open Windows Settings and go to System.
- From the left pane of the System window, select Recovery.
- Click the Get Started button under Reset this PC in the right panel.
- Begin the recovery process.
- Now, depending on your preferences, select either Keep my files or Remove everything.
- Select the options for storing my files.
- The next screen will ask you to choose between “Cloud download” and “Local reinstall.”
When your system is generally operating normally and you simply want to clear out your data and settings and start over, reinstalling locally is your best option. If you have corrupted system files, cloud download may be of assistance.
- To proceed, click the Next button.
Finally, press the Reset button and wait for the process to finish. The 0x0 0x0 problem should be resolved after restarting.
