Disk Clean up not functioning

[Guest]

When I try to use the untiliy to clean up the drive (XP)user, it just sits and hangs. For the first few seconds it looks like it is working then it just stops and does nothing.

You should try searching for your problem before making your post. This
problem has been answered too many times to count.

If these articles don't help you, certainly add another post to this same
message or thread.

Good Luck

you might try Dr. Watson to check if it's hooked up. but

i found a dynamite program to handle duplicates,empty,
same name,portions It also works as a search in about a
tenth or faster. its called "no clone" i purchased
it ,but if i remember correctly there's a free version
that does the same thing but limits the amount of files
per search Hope this helps, lew
