    NTFS Compression on Event Logs

    Anyone ever try doing NTFS compression on their Error Logs?
    It's all text, so it should compress pretty well.

    Anyone else try this? I suppose it's only useful in server-land when you have huge event logs..

    To compress:
    Run services.msc
    Find Event Log and set to "Disabled"
    Reboot
    Go to c:\windows\system32\config
    NTFS Compress anything that ends in .evt
    Run services.msc
    Find Event Log and set to "Automatic"
    Reboot

    Disable NTFS Compression, but only for new files

    NTFS compression

    I bought ASUS E200H: Win 10 Home; 32GB of SSD (the operating system occupies around 20GB, so only around 10GB is left for me).

    After installing all the programs that I need, I had around 1GB of free space.

    I was advised to perform the NTFS compression on the whole C:.

    So I checked the NTFS compression fir C:, and it started to run.

    As it ran, I noticed that the Windows Manager says that there is less and less free space.

    When it was around 200MB, i decided to stop the process, and unchecked the compression.

    The process started running again, and the free space continued decreasing, and soon reached 0 bytes.

    So the question is, what should I do now?..

    Should I let the compression run to the end? Or keep it decompressed - but in this case how can I regain the free space that I had before running int this procedure?.. Or possibly compress only some folders - which yes and which no?..

    Thanks in advance.
