It takes forever. You have to give it a LLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time. Mine takes about a half an hour – or more – to get to 4 bars.
This is usually caused by a corrupt file in either the tmp or temp folder or the temporary Internet files folder. Open Internet explorer and under tools, Internet options, select delete files including offline files. Then if disk cleanup still won’t finish, find the temp or tmp folder and delete all files. Never seen if fail after that, but it’s a good idea to shut down as many running processes and programs before doing the cleanup. It’s also good practice to defragment the drive after deleting all those files.
