Just out of curiosity, once a drive is compressed, can it be restored to
its original "uncompressed" condition?
 
Right click on a compressed folder or file and select
Properties. Advanced and uncheck the box before "Compress
contents to save disk space", Apply and OK.

If you cannot see which folders / files are compressed you can
get the system to highlight them in Windows Explorer in blue.
This is achieved by selecting any file / folder in Windows Explorer
Tools, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and checking
box before "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in
colour". You need to select Apply to all folders to get all
compressed files to display in colour.

Hope this helps.
