As mentioned by the name, disk compression means the process of compressing the contents of the disk to reduce space occupied by it's components.

Some softwares used are:- winRar and WinZip.

As mentioned they are used for compressing size of contents when the space on the disk is less. Although if you compress data, it may take some time to decompress it.
