Hi John,
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, the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article explains a
workaround that, if implemented, removes the option to Compress Old Files, thus
skipping the step all-together. For more information, see this Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article:
