cleanmgr hangs

[stan]

When I run cleandisk on my laptop, it hangs in the task
assessing the disk. The popup states it is determining
the amount of disk space it can free up by compressing
old files. When I cancel it, the task remains running. I
have to kill it from the task manager or else all
processes come to a crawl. Any idea what may be wrong or
how to correct this?
