Windows Disk Cleanup: "Compress old files" option

Should I check “compress old files” option while performing disk cleanup on Windows XP? What are the pros and cons?

Likewise, there is another option in Local Disk Properties window: “Compress drive to save disk space”. Is it also reasonable to check it?

Can I delete the the folder C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\?

There is a new folder full of installers located at C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\. I believe this is from visual studio 2012 RC.

Does anyone know if I can delete these GB of data without consequences. Are they are temporary files? It’s a beta product so I’m not sure there is much information out there about this folder.
