O.P. Sad  Disk Cleanup will not compress old files?
Hello.

I have used disk cleanup to compress old files before.
Now I needed it, so I right clicked my C: drive, went to propeties and clicked "Disk Cleanup".
So, I waited for more than 10 minutes and then the window that says what I would like to clean up.
I checked what I wanted to clean up, and I also checked to compress old files.
[Image: attachment.php?pid=547230]
And the disk cleanup started.
But after waiting more 10 minutes, it seems that the old files would not get compressed!
So, I ran it again 2-3 times...
But it still doesn't work... :(

I even tried restarting the computer!

But still, nothing...

I don't know, I have used compressing the old files before...

I wonder if it has anything to do with Norton Antivirus appearing while it was compressing the old files (i'm not really sure if it was doing that, since i wasn't here) it said that it found a trojan and it deleted it.
Some disk space was freed (about 200 MBs)
I also recently installed GMail drive, but I doubt that that it has something to do with it...

Disk cleanup does not freeze while "compressing" old files.
After some minutes (about 10) it will get to the next thing it has to clean up...

But, no disk space is freed...

Any help please?

Thanks :)

Oh, and I tried google, but, it only has solutions if the disk cleanup utility freezes.
It doesn't freeze on me, it just won't do anything... :-/
