Enabling Disk Cleanup on Windows Server 2008 on Amazon AWS EC2 server

I chose Windows Server 2008 because of it's considerable low space usage to save more for other things. But in a few weeks time, the space was almost used up with windows update files. And wheni went to clean up the files the drive properties doesn't have a "Drive Cleanup" tool. So it seems that if you want to cleanup your drive you have to manually add the feature on the operating system.
To do this, Go to Start Menu->Administrative Tools->Server Manager->Features->Add Feature
On the list of features to enable, you have to enable "Desktop Experience" and continue with the wizard
Once completed, you will have to restart your server to get the feature to cleanup your disk
After the restart, open the disk properties and the disk cleanup feature will be there for your usage.
