you may wish to look into using a utility like "grand perspective" unfortunately it appears to be hosted on source forge which has been cited as a website that might not be forthcoming with bundling other software without consent.
additionally you may post a report here from this software so we can better determine what (if anything) could be exacerbating this issue.

lastly if you are using any 3rd party utility to clean or manage your Mac remove it now following the developers directions. Also any Anti-Virus should be removed as these applications are notoriously ineffective and potentially damaging to the satiability of the Mac OS.
