If by writing "CLEAN DISC" you mean "Disk Cleanup" (specifically the
application: %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe with an icon of a tiny
little brush sweeping a hard drive) then some people posting to the
microsoft.public.* newsgroups have reported that Disk Cleanup's
"Compressing Old Files" stage can take overnight, so you may want to
leave Disk Cleanup running that long.

Also, some people post that Disk Cleanup stops responding while
compressing old files. The following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
explains a workaround that, if implemented, removes the option to
Compress Old Files (although written for Windows XP, the resolution also
works for Windows 2000).
