"Compress Old Files" checkbox does not delete/remove anything - it... compresses old files. ;-) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

If the files got removed, why waste the CPU cycles and disk I/O to compress files that get deleted? Because compressing old (long since last used) files does NOT remove it. It does what it says: compresses them.
