disk cleanup cause 100% CPU utilization

[sdoucette]

Every time I try to run Disk Cleanup on one particular
system, the CPU utilization goes to 100% and stays there
and the process never gets beyond "compress old files"
(I'm talking running it over night!)

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks in advance
