It depends on how fast the PC is, how much it needs to cleanup, and if there are many small files it'll take longer. It is the correct way to cleanup the system, and if done on a regular basis, it'll be faster. It is safe.

The HP Proliant server is dual cpu 3ghz, 2 mg ram, the mirror is 36 gig with 14 gig files, system files.<br />
The striped array is three 64 gig drives with 24 gig data.<br />
<br />
When I run cleanup the drives make load moaning noise.<br />
<br />
Is there any ballpark figure on how long this will run and are the moaning sounds from drives normal?<br />
<br />

Is it normal when running Disk Cleanup on Mirrored (36G) and 3 striped drives (64G) for the process to take hours?<br />
<br />
I let it run for 20 minutes and the server moaned and groaned so I canceled it.<br />
<br />
Is this the correct and best way to clean theses drives and is it safe?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
