My disc cleanup doesn't work anymore. Anyone else have this problem. It just sits there for hours and won't work. Thanks
 
Yes! My Disk clean-up will not work on Volume C - the progress bar is
permanently stuck at 3 blips, saying "compress old files". It's
"cleanmgr.exe" uses 100% of CPU, even after cancelling Disk clean-up, and
until I end the task with Taskmanager. Same result leaving it running 12
hours overnight.
I'd like to know what causes this, too. I now use a little freeware program
called "Disk Cleaner" which does the same job and is very good.

UNcheck the "compress files" option in the disk cleaner. Kelly's site,
linked below, lists other options and info.

Maybe this article will help to explain why it would take so long or seem
never to finish.
