Disk Clean Up Stalls

First, if this question has been asked before, I sincerely apologize.



Now, here is my situation:



If I try to run Disk Clean Up, it seems to run fine for a minute or two, and
then it seems to stall. I tried running it this morning, and came back 3
hours later, and it was still running, or stalled.



Can anyone give me an insight of why it would take this long to run?



BTW, I have run it in the past, and it gave me details within a few minutes.



Thank you.
