Sounds like you havn't deleted old Internet cache files first. There
could be 20 gigs of them.

I don't know if you've ever found a fix for this issue. I had the exact same problem and came across your question then ended up fixing the Compress Old Files issue myself. I ran Defrag and then I ran Disc Cleanup again and it was fixed. I still have the 32kb on WebClient/Publisher Temporary Files but its only 32kb so I'm not too worried about it right now.
Hope I could help

Disk Cleanup Not Compressing Old Files?

Hi:

When I run Disk Cleanup I have a check beside both Compress Old Files
(1,919 KB) and WebClient/Publisher Temporary Files (32KB) and it does not
hang up but runs to completion. However, when I run it again immediately
afterwards it identifies the same files as if nothing is happening. Not
compressing or deleting any files.

I an running this on a Sony desktop with MCE2005 SP2 and I also have the
same problem on a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP Home Edition SP2. This
is the first time that I have noticed this happening and on both computers.
I am sure that I used to end up with 0KB after running Disk Cleanup, but no
apparently no longer.

Do I have a problem with Disk Cleanup doing its thing and if so how do I
correct it?

Thanks,

ColTom2
