[Enormous problem with NTFS compressed files]

 

Hi! - Sincerely apologise if I am crossing threads. The topic here seems so similar.

I am fine with Defrag, though curious in the example below:

One session I get 4% Free space. Next session,  or the next,  I get 42% free space. The 4% again.

The pie charts agree each time

Which is the true one? - Or simply 2 versions: Compressed files, and UN compressed files?

If I defrag both versions, am I going around in circles?

    Memory Usage    47 %
    Total Physical    1.49 GB
    Available Physical    806 MB
    Total Virtual    13 GB
    Available Virtual    12 GB
Files compressed to save disc space

 

Thank you for your patience
