Hi,
In my opinion, the advantages of leaving empty space on your disk far
outweigh the impact on performance, which is generally not noticeable. A lot
here depends on your specific hardware, but since the impact on performance
can occur onlywhen your computer reads or writes to the disk, if you don't
notice any delays (and I don't expect that you will), keep compressing.

I have read the information provided in the link you supplied and understand
that compressing files "You may notice a decrease in performance when
working with NTFS-compressed files."
Perhaps this was not such a good idea on my part.
I did not see insructions for how to 'de-compress' these files to regain
efficiency.
Can you please share your recommendation - to compress or to de-compress?
Thank you!

Hi,
The blue color indicates that the file has been compressed by Windows. In
Windows Explorer, in the properties of each drive, you can see if the drive
is configured for compression. In general, files are not compressed
immediately. Hence you can see a mixture of compressed and uncompressed files
in the same location. For more detailed information, see

When I open Windoes Explorer and find all my saved documents, some of the
titles are in blue text rather than the default black. I know this has
something to do with how I saved the document, but cannot recall how a blue
titled document is different from the others.
Thanx for your assistance.
