Disk Clean up

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

First of all, I don't know if I am in the right newsgroup, but if I am not,
sorry. My question is this: I am trying to do a disk clean up & after the
computer calculates what needs to be cleaned up, I hit clean up, it freezes &
nothing happens. I have to hit control, alt, delete because it says "Not
responding". What can I do to correct this problem?

Thanks

What app are you using for this process? (The only
MS item is CLEANUP.EXE which is called by
Outlook Express i.e. does not run as a standalone.)
What is the name of the app that is NOT RESPONDING ?

Try running Disk Cleanup with all your background apps closed:
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and End Task on everything except Explorer and Systray. Then
start Disk Cleanup and see if it still freezes.

What options do you have check-marked to be performed in Disk Cleanup? Try
unchecking some and running it, to see if one of the options may be the trouble.

You did not say if you selected 'End Task' and what response you
received.

Also you say, "I don't know if I am in the right newsgroup" but you do
not give details of your OS so no-one can determine whether or not you
are in the correct forum.
