Compressed files not removed when disk cleanup performed

[Jon]

When performing disk cleanup on primary drive C, the
compressed files box is checked but after cleanup is
completed the compressed files (same size KB)reappear
when cleanup is again executed. What to do to remove
compressed files in disk cleanup.

Disk cleanup does not delete compressed files. It compresses old or rarely
used files. Highlight compressed files in the disk cleanup and read its
description of what it does. It clearly states that no files get deleted.
