Well, when I'm short of space I get a bigger drive. If you had 43 GB free and after compression you had 50 GB free ... you've gained very little.
After all, that little dribble of extra storage will be gone soon enough. Then what?
I'd instead just buy a 2 TB drive and be done with it.
Or, if it's an SSD, I'd bump up to a 512 GB at least.
Storage is cheap. Fussing over a few GB savings isn't worthwhile for me.
