When I click on disk cleanup, it just hangs and do nothing. I tried leaving it alone for a whole day and it didn't go past 3 bars. How can I get it to work?

I think this is due to corrupted temporary files. You can delete as many temp files like so: 1. Click Start and then click Run. 2. Type %temp% and click OK. 3. Press CTRL + A to select everything and then press SHIFT + DEL to delete everything without sending it to the Recycle Bin first. 4. If you get errors, just click OK and try to delete as many individual files as possible. 5. Repeat this process but replace %temp% with just temp in Step 2. Then try running Disk Cleanup again.
