Help With Disk Clean-up

[SRandy]

Hello,
Hope someone can help me. Every time I run Disk Clean-up
it freezes up at compress old files. Then I close it and
it is still running in the background. I noticed this
when I ctrl-alt-delete I see it running and the cpu is at
100%. Anyone know what to do to fix this problem.
Thanks for your help. SRandy
