disk cleanup of compress files?

I haven't done a disk cleanup in a long time and I'm planning on doing it soon. What I was wondering about is should I do a disk cleanup up of the compress files and I have no idea what are the compress files, can you give me an idea of what are they, thank you.

The Disk Cleanup will compress files that haven't been used in a while..

It will free up a little bit of hard drive space and will do a small performance hit if you do need to use the files later...I always skip the compress files part of clean up..
