RE: Compress Old Files
hu? what do you mean by "delete compress old files"?

temporary created files from a compress program?
old files on your HD?
temporary files in your temporary files folder?

Also mind you that Disk Cleanup is not a magical program with the mind of a human brain. The program can't know what you consider obsolete or redundant. Simply go to the folder where the files are and delete them manually.

To wherever they are of course.... :/

Your whole HD consists of files. Only you know where and what files can be considered "old"... Nobody can help you in that...

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

defrag puts (almost) everything at the beginning of the drive and organises it so that you get a faster disc read time and slightly more drive space.
