Endless loop in disc cleanup on RAID'ed drives - Page 2

Try doing it on the D: drive and disable the date check or increase it to like 180 days. After this is done, reboot and try it again on the C: drive.

I might be wrong, but my "gut feel" is that you are evaluating a lot to compress - might be wrong here; however, that is my inclination.

I don't see a date check option??

And if I was compressing, wouldn't the hard drives be in use??
They stop and it's all processor/RAM/fans in high........
I'll check back tomorrow..........thanks

Highlight - Compress Old Files, and then depres Options. There is # of Days scaler that you can adjust. I can't remember if the options are global or by drive.

I think that the first thing that this utility does is to check for compresed files eligibility. When it is "stuck" is that the phase reported below the progress bar?

Unable to highlight..........once I approve the disk cleanup for drive C, it goes into the loop and everything related to the disk cleanup is locked........I can open/run other programs simultaneously, but the disk cleanup program is locked in some process.......even if I cancel the disk cleanup, the process remains running and locked until I either manually cancel the process by going into the task manager or re-boot. The options on disk cleanup are drive specific ie. I can cancel compression on disk D but the C cleanup still incorporates it.........but I can't change that due to the lock/loop..........
