Cleanmgr.exe or Disk Cleaner

Walter Kuchlak

Disk Cleaner starts but does not proceed. It says
searching and then just hangs and will not go further
after dialogue box appears. Seems to be corrupted.
What can I do to correct or reinstall?

Hi Walter,

Some people posting to the microsoft.public.* newsgroups have reported that the
compressing old files stage can take overnight, so you may want to leave Disk Cleanup
running that long. Also, if Disk Cleanup stops responding while compressing old
files you can workaround the problem by deleting the Compress old files registry key.
For more information, see this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
