clean compress old files under disk cleanup

Do you mean that you want CC to run the compress old files function? Just do it under windows, it will take fewer than half-a-dozen mouse clicks and only needs doing once in a blue moon, and then only if you're desperate for space.

This has been discussed before, feel free to use the forums search function. The compress old files option will not improve your computers performance in the slightest, in fact quite the opposite as compressed files are slower to read from disk (and as far as I know windows doesn't actually uncompress them if they do get used). That option is only there to free up some disk space but if you are running out of disk space far better buy a larger hard drive, or move any unused files (music, videos etc) to CD or external drive.
