Why each option
The Disk Cleanup tool is a utility designed to free up space on a hard disk drive by identifying and deleting various types of unnecessary files.
Disk Cleanup scans the hard disk for files that can be safely deleted, such as temporary internet files, system error memory dump files, and items in the Recycle Bin, to reclaim storage space.
Rearranging files on the hard disk to speed up performance is the function of a disk defragmentation utility, not Disk Cleanup.
Moving files to be logically stored is a file management task, often done manually or by specific file system operations, and is not the primary purpose of Disk Cleanup.
Looking for surface errors on the disk is the function of a disk error-checking tool, such as CHKDSK, not the Disk Cleanup tool.
