Compressing won't gain you much space. Delete / move to another drive.

As I've just answered your flash drive question and you mentioned AVI files in that I'll assume that's what's filling your drive.

In which case, as Naz said, compressing them won't really help, move them off too an external drive.

Also if this is stuff that's important to you then you need a proper backup of them too, having them in one place only is never a good idea so you might want to get two external drives.
