Any computer software expert here?
I'm running out of space in my C drive, so I would like to look into my compress old files which were compressed by Windows. Does anyone know where to find all those files? I need to see whether I can delete some of them to free up some space in my C drive.

Question

Answer

which windows version are u using? by the way, what's the capacity of the hard disk?

Answer

Sherry, I was talking about "compress old files" under disk cleanup. I'm using Windows XP. Windows XP operating system will compress files that are idle for 50 days by default. These "compress(ed) old files" is listed among other files under "disk cleanup" window. The disk cleanup can be found by clicking Start menu -> Programs ->Accessories -> System tools -> Windows System Tools -> Disk Cleanup. I hope to see all my previously compressed files in one place, decompress (uncompress) them to see their contents, then decide which ones to delete.

Answer

I don't understand what files you mean.
