Disk Cleanup (compress OS drive) problem
Hi guys and gurus. Been giving my self yet another headache :/ Ran disk cleanup this evening, something I don't do as often as I should and discovered the 'compress OS drive' issue. Only as per usual only after it was too late. Selected to delete this thinking it was some stupid nonsense dragged in from the web. I've now discovered that it's actually compressed the drive. So I've unchecked that etc. Manually uncompressed the folders within (I don't need compression, not exactly short on space here) but some remain with the annoying blue arrows. When I check these folders are not marked as compressed so I can't uncompress them.
Does anyone know how to get around this? I've been doing my due googling and all I can really find is people complaining about this but no solution other than that which I've already tried.
Also, when I create a new folder on the desktop it's showing with the annoying blue compressed arrows, investigation shows that new folders are compressed. I can uncompress them, but how can I prevent new folders being compressed? I don't really want to have to manually do this every time I create a new folder :/
As always, eternally grateful for any help you guys can offer.
