Disc cleanup / compress files

[Guest]

I run disc cleanup on a regular basis, and have routinely compressed files
infrequently used. I have just found that some infrequently used folders
have disappeared (arrgh).
Is there any way I can recover them / are they stored somewhere? I now need
them rather desperately.

Never choose to compress files.
