Windows Disk Clean Up Cannot Clean Up Some Compressed Old Files.

First you need to check that your disk is free of errors and then you can perform the disk clean up task. To check your disk you can do these steps.

• First go to start.
• Here select the RUN
• Now type cmd in the new window and press OK or click OK.
• A new DOS window will open in front of you here type chkdsk. And then press enter.
• It will check your disk from errors and if any error is found then it will configure it.

Also if your files are compressed then make them un compressed and then you can make cleanup. I hope this will solve your problem.
