The files in the\AFTER folder will be compressed after they are moved.
Key Takeaway: Compressing files, folders, and programs decreases their size and reduces the amount of space they use on your volumes or removable storage devices. Volume compression decreases the amount of space that is used by all of the files and folders that are stored on that volume. When files are moved within a single volume, the compression status of the files does not change. To compress files and folders on an NTFS volume, click Start and then click My Computer. Double-click the NTFS Volume that contains the folder or folders you want to compress. Right-click the file or folder you want to compress and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Advanced. Click to select the Compress contents to save disk space check box and then click OK. In the Properties dialog box, click OK. In Confirm Attribute Changes, click the option you want.
