Is there any compression utility to best save disk space rather than winzip
or winrar which save just a little of disk space?

What type of files are you wanting to compress?

Different file types compress to different degrees. Anything text based
will compress down 70-80%, but .jpg's are *already* compressed, and
compressing them into a WinZip file, for example, increases compression
only 1-2% Most all available compression utilities compress files of
any given type about as much as they can be compressed - WinZip (as just
one example) is about as good as it gets.

Use 7zip, compression better than RAR or ZIP even on multimedia files
and jpgs,

Look up "compression" in Windows Help and support.

If you believe you need to compress files to save disk space than you
most certainly, need a larger hard drive.
