system cleanup taking very long on laptop

Thread needs solution

Since I upgraded to Acronis 16 on a laptop running windows 10 professional the system cleanup too takes as much as 3 hours to do a cleaning using the DOD option.  Included is hard drive free space cleaning.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no change.  By comparison acronis 13 took at most half hour. to clean  this mchine  I also have acronis 16 on other computers also with W10prof that have much more data and the tool takes at most half-hour on those machines.   Anyone has any ideas on how to fix this.  Thanks!

Hard to say since it seems to be isloated to that machine and there's not much to go on.  You can try CCleaner (free tool) and run it's 1 time clean and see how long that takes for comparison.  It could be an issue with the OS or something with the disk that has occured aroudn the same time as the Acronis 2016 upgrade.  If CCleaner does the 1 type clean quickly, but Acronis not, then you may have pinpointed it to Acronis.  If the CCleaner clean is also slow (keep in mind it's a 1 time be default), then you may have identified an issue with the OS or hard drive that is causing it to be slow, but not directly related to the Acronis upgrade
