    My disk cleanup isnt working right, is there a way to fix it?
    There are 834,567 files i am trying to compress but it just wont do it, There are also some Temp files that it wont dump either.

    I tried that already as well.
    That work around doesnt fix the problem, it just makes the files to be compressed invisible.
