disk cleaner

[Guest]

My disk cleaner locks up and uses 99% of the processor. I have to go into the
task mananger to shut it down

What free space is avilable?

Hi DL, I'm a rookie at this. If you mean hard drive space, then it is 70%.
Someone helped me once before and it had something to do with volumecaches.

Free space has nothing to do with it. The Disk Cleanup Tool helps to create
free space.
