Hi all,
when I start the "disc cleanup" utility, it never cleans the thumbnails. It pauses itself for some minutes before closing and nothing happens. Other lines are cleaned up OK.

Does it say anything in Event Viewer? Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Disk Cleanup

Maybe the Thumbnail cache is actively in use or locked by some type of Explorer process
