Jambohaha, Disk Cleanup isn't supposed to delete "Compress old files". It only compresses them to save you disk space.

I have Windows XP (Home) with SP2. When I left click "My Computer," then right click the C: (Main) icon, then left click "Properties," then left click the "Disk Cleanup" button. I get a listing.
On this listing you can check the box, in front of any particular file, if you want to delete it's contents. When I check the box in front of "Compress old files" (because I don't need the old files)and do the cleanup, it does not clean out the Compressed old files, however, when I look at it sometimes a few days later, it is cleaned out, and the count is real low. Can you tell me what's happening here, why it's doing this? Why don't it delete the files when I tell it to?
