Disk Clean Up problems - Windows XP?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to free up disk space on my computer [it's a Sony Vaio], and last night I tried the 'Disc Clean Up' tool, and it when scanning it wouldn't go past 'compressed files' or something like that. I decided to leave it all night and when I checked it this morning it was the exact same.

Does anyone know how I can fix this, or what the problem is?

Any help will be much appreciated. :)
