I had made a backup of my system prior to installing a new 1TB drive. I did this about a month ago and contemplated deleting the backup as I think I have everything I need but, I thought hey, I can recover some space by compressing the folder. So I clicked the compression checkbox on the folder properties and let it go. I knew it was going to take awhile and I was prepared for that but, I wasn’t prepared to see 47166 Days and 15 hours remaining.
I figured this must be some miscalculation so I let it run for an hour or so. It now says 47166 Days and 14 hours. What???? I’m sorry but, I don’t know if I’m ready to change my will to ask my grandchildren who aren’t even born yet click OK when the compression finishes in 129 years.
I think I’ll let it run overnight and if it hasn’t gone down a few decades I’ll click cancel and just delete the files. I can’t wait to try this in Windows 7.
