| when cleaning up temp files and other un-wanted stuff using the disc clean up, the computer freezes. I am still able to cancel it but it only does a small chunk of the operation. I think it might be to do with 'compressing old files' as I have two old downloaded files that I cannot delete. Everytime I click on them the file is not there although the icon is. Help???? | Guest
