Disk cleanup problem
 

ok.. every now and then, I do Disk cleanup for Drive C

but this time it's not working.. when I click on it, its starts loading and then just freezes and doesnt load anymore, but it still appears on my screen...I click cancle and then my computer suddenly goes ALOT slowly than usual. I went to clcik on it agian, but this time it doesnt load...I restarted my comp, and tried again this time I left it for it to laod, and i fell asleep for about 4 hours,and when I woke up, it still didnt do anything...anyone know the problem and how to fix it? could it be something I saved off the net, such as pics, cuz thats wht i did recently and now this problem has occured,

here is a better Idea of what im referring too.

the loading bar does not load anymore than those three loading blocks.

That happens to me too. Well the part where i do disk cleanup then it just freezes but the rest hasnt. sorry dont know what to tell u?

i just walk away from the computer and then go get something to eat and when i come back its finnished,
for some reason it takes for ever to do a disk clean up in windows xp

Chris, I left my computer on for 2 hours...and it finally did the reading of the files...then it asked to delete what ones...and took another 2 hours to finnally load that shit

Really, it doens't even delete that much unless you have gone to a million sites before your last cleanup.

not for me... everytiem I did it before, it only took about 5 seconds to load, and then i got to pick what I wanted to clean

For about the first two times it did that for me

Then it just went to the shitter

i cant believe i am doing this but go to

control panel
internet options
click delete flies then run your disk cleanup

thanks, but I always do that aswell.. the disk cleanup cleans out other stuff, other than internet shit

yeah I know, it tends to speed it up a bit. also if you are experiencing problems boot into safe mode and try it

don't click every option...make sure you always know what you're getting rid of.

I do

you could always just ask me over msn you know...

do it in safe mode and run defrag/scan

alright, Ill try that, thanks

still didnt work.....any other ideas? reinstalling my OS maybe?
