Disk Cleanup: Why was Compress Old Files removed?
Hey there,
I migrated from WinXP Home to Win7 Pro, so I do realize I skipped a generation when I ask this question.
I found that the Compress Old Files helped save me gigabytes of space at times. The philosophy as I interpreted it made sense - if you didn't use files, it's safe to trade access performance for increased disk space.
The only thing I can think of is that with the advent of extremely cheap storage, it was viewed as unessential.
What d'you think?
