Hello i haven't switched out my ssd drive from my older computer. So i thought i'd compress my C: drive. Anyway had 99 gb and thought want to load my games and will add a 2nd drive soon. After the compression it seems i only have 18 gb free now. And have a drive O: With 89 gb in it and states it's online. How can i revert this situation back to having 99gb free till i add another drive ? Thanks for any help , i'm a intermediate as far as computer knowledge and help friends . But never had to deal with this type of problem before .

You really should NOT have done Windows Compression -- as you now have problems undoing that.

 

This thread tells you HOW to do that -- but it is not guaranteed and you may lose data in the process:  https://www.technipages.com/disable-windows-file-compression
