Just note that checking the System Compression box isn't for deleting files, but to only compress them to save the amount of space displayed for it in Disk Cleanup.

Thanks Edwin.
We will have to wait to see what happens to this in future builds then.

The compression works extremely well - 85% for windows and 90% for program files - my windows 10 install (including 51 programs) is (just) under 3GB if you exclude page file and user data etc which is smaller than the ISO I installed it from - see here Microsoft promises less disk space Win10 - Windows 10 Forums
Is the system compression option the same as using the command-line function+option:
"compact /compactos"?
So for instance this queries the current state:
And these commands change the state to be on or off.Code:compact /compactos:query
I seem to remember that compactos is only recommended for solid state drives, and indeed the System Compression option doesn't appear in Disk Cleanup on my old laptop with spinning disk.Code:compact /compactos:always compact /compactos:never
Hello David, :)
I believe so, but I have never used it since it would never be good for performance.

I might give it a try. I've been using CCleaner for quite sometime. Does anyone know how the two compare with each other?
