compress hard drive

B

Brenda

I just read a post that nobody in this day and age would even consider
compressing their hard drive. Well I did. It did free up space but is now
very slow. Is there any way to fix this error in judgment and undo what I did?

My son had some choice words for me all of them meant "stupid". He said to
copy of the files that I needed to open up disk space. I work with a lot of
photos and didn't really want to.

How bad did I screw up?

Uncheck "Compress this drive to save space"
and then restart your computer.
