    Clear up AppData folder/s


    No real problems. The only drawback is that when you update something (written over) it will get decompressed. So you have to issue a compact command again. For instance, let's say you have just updated Mozilla Firefox (x86), you should run compact /c /a /i /s /exe:xpress16k "c:\program files (x86)\Mozilla firefox"\*
    Using TAB key to complete names makes it faster than it sounds.

    Good point. You can use compact without the /exe:xxx and that persists for new stuff but it only compresses 4k (the default) which is a shame. Hopefully in the future you'll be able to chose the default but I don't think you can at the moment.

    What happens if you compress files from the AppData folders though?

    No boot?
