How long did you wait? It can be a long time if not run recently.

For Disk Cleanup the user has to select which type of files to
delete when
the selection screen popup appears to select files such as 'temp
files', etc
after the initial scan. If it wasn't for that, then of course the
task can
be run automatically with no user interaction.
These clients only has one main user not multiple and I am just
trying to
figure out a way to run maintenance utilities automatically as
scheduled
tasks without giving users local admin rights.
The disk cleanup wizard can be automated without ANY user prompts.
Read Microsoft's KB article 315246. With policies, I assume you could
push the registry keys to have all users do the same set of cleanup
actions. Or you could use account logon scripts (to UNC pathed
network hosts) to retrieve a .reg file and run regedit in silent mode
(regedit.exe /s <regfile>) to get them into the user's copy of the
registry's .dat files. I don't know how you are pushing the .job file
for the scheduled task onto the user's hosts but that is probably also
possible.
As an end user of my own host with admin rights, I have a scheduled
task that runs the disk cleanup each week and I NEVER have to answer
any prompts. The scheduled task runs
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:0" where I have previously
created the zero-named config set (use whatever config set number that
floats your boat).
