The OS does it by itself. It even includes an application so you can do it yourself if you want which is called "Disk Cleanup".

Just as one data point, the last time I ran Disk Cleanup, it hosed my entire Windows installation. The bug in question was documented as occurring in Vista, but wasn't fixed in Windows 7, and for all I know, still isn't:

I'm admittedly out of the loop, last time I used disk cleanup would have been Win7, I guess MS expanded it to do much more useful work?

On my W10 install, CCleaner usually finds ~1GB more than Disk Cleanup, not even counting browser caches.
