    Which disk clean up?

    have you tried highlighting explorer and doing end task (you can restart explorer by doing new task explorer).
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    From my experience, it's probably still running. The more data you have on the hard drive the longer it takes. I've known it to take upwards of 2 hours before.
