Disk cleanup error

[PD]

For some reason Disk Cleanup will no longer run on my
system; it has always worked fine, but now it refuses to
finish "calculating how much space" can be cleared. It
never finishes calculating...just sits there with 2 green
bars for hours.

The funny thing is that it works fine on the Guest account
on my system, but I cannot get it to work on mine.

If anyone has any information about how I can get cleanup
to work, I'd be very grateful.
