When I try to run disk cleanup it begins running with the message saying "scanning compress old files" after about three mins it then sits idle and does nothing. I have tried leaving it running for almost an hour, but when I come back NO PROGRESS. This utility used to run fine. I don't know what's wrong with it now.

I also notice that while running it uses up 99 percent of system resources and even if I exit the program it shows as running in TASKMANAGER and I have to "end the process" manually... Any ideas?
