Answer:

A compressed file is just a file that's made smaller, so less space is taken up. I use em' all the time.

Answer:

File compression is used to reduce the file size of one or more files. When a file or a group of files is compressed, the resulting "archive" often takes up 50% to 90% less disk space than the original file(s).
