Zipping Hosted Files

If you have hosted files you want to keep but don't really use, you can add them to a zip folder to save space.

About this task

When you add files to a zip folder, the original files are kept unless you manually delete them. Therefore, if your goal is to save space you should delete zipped files. However, files in a zip folder cannot be used so you should not delete anything you currently use or plan to use.
