Before you begin
This script as designed will archive the contents of all log files specified in $logsToClear
Please ensure you are aware of the implications and impacts of this, and ensure log file selection is performed accordingly.
If using this approach in a Corporate or Enterprise environment - always ensure your relevant Information Security professionals are included as part of a proper ITIL or other appropriate Change Management approach, for choosing what logs to archive and clear on the computers being targeted by this script, and understanding/managing any consequences this may have to your Security Monitoring approach and posture.
Important
Use as one part of an overall device disk space management strategy
This script is just one of the tools needed in your toolbox for keeping disk usage on your Windows Intune devices under control.
There is no single method available within Intune to achieve this outcome and remove all system and other on your devices.
Whilst this script incorporates the efforts of the following remediations, always make your own evaluations and determinations on the best approach for keeping end user device disk space utilisation your tenant under control:

Quick operational note
This repository contains an enhanced remediation script that intentionally uses a "log-first" approach: detailed run-time entries (including per-user/profile details) are appended to a temporary per-run log file. The host console output intentionally emits only compact summaries (for example a user-profile pass will report "RemovedCount=X; FailedCount=Y") to avoid exposing PII and to keep Intune-captured output concise.
When testing or troubleshooting, run the script with a dry-run and verbose output to see more detail locally:
.\intune\remediation\Win-Storage-Remediate.ps1 -DryRun -Verbosity VerboseInspect the per-run temporary log (for example %TEMP%\<scriptName>_temp.log) for the full details of what would be removed.
