re: "Compress Old Files" doesn't change after running Windows Cleanup Saturday, September 5, 2009 at 7:41 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve (21664 messages posted) Compress Old Files just compresses unused files that are 60 days old. It doesn't delete them. It will slow the computer down in the long run, because every time Windows needs to access one of the Compressed files it has to decompress the file to use it.
