Compress OS

Not only still around but lots available with the 32 GB eMMC storage,

I used to use this back in the old days but its redundant now

Check my thread in this section, it's currently right below this one.

There is no solution to fix it because it isn't viewed as a bug. It's just a stupid idea MS have come up with in the Feb update. The thread does however contain information as to how to reverse/undo it. All you (and I) can do after that is make sure we don't make the same mistake again now that we know what this option actually does.

I dont think you understand what i want.

I want the remaining folders compressed to save the last few gb as well.

If someone finds a way to do it, please let me know.

Then just right click the folders you want to compress, click properties, Attributes/advanced (click advanced) and tick the box that says "compress contents to save disk space" - click ok.

Here you go. Save it as .reg and then import it.

Then right click on your folder of choice and pick your favorite compression ratio.
