You would hope, but knowing how competent copilot is, it's just going to turn out like this:

User:
I'm running out of space, can you help me clean up?

AI:
Sure thing, I can help with that. You have some programs that haven't been opened since 2017. Would you like me to delete them?

User:
Yes

AI: OK, let me do that for you.

I apologize, but as an AI Agent, I am not allowed to delete files or uninstall programs automatically. You can remove them yourself, however. I have created the cleanup.txt file on your desktop, which you can run by renaming the file to cleanup.bat, right-clicking on it, and selecting "Run as administrator".

User:
Thank you, I did that but it only freed up a little bit of space. Can you find more?
