View Full Version : Disk Cleanup Hangs up.

When I try to do a disk clean up on my C: Drive, the
routine starts up, then freezes. When I look at it under
Task Manager, cleanmgr.exe is hogging 90 - 100% of the
resources, but nothing is happening, which indicates to
me that it is hung up. I have to end the process to free
the system up. When I run Disk Cleanup on the D: Drive,
it works fine. Any suggestions? Please e-mail me if you
respond so I'll know to check the board. (Maybe even e-
mail me your response to ).
