Disk Clean hangs

[Brendan Sisk]

Disk Clean hangs after I start it.

Any suggestions?

Why does Disk Cleanup freeze?

I don't know why it freezes and I don't know what to do
about it.

 

[Brendan Sisk]

Thank you both.
That did the trick.

Brendan,

It is hanging at the "Compress Old Files" stage because of a program flaw in
XP. Here is a solution from MVP Juputer Jones:

Follow this link:

Line 48, Right column "Disk Cleanup - Compress..."
Save on Desktop.
Double click the icon once downloaded.
The icon can then be discarded.
