You cannot always reduce the a compressed file to 50% of the original file. To better explain this, I will explain the basics of how file compression works. A compresser (Ie. WinZip) will looks for longs strings of data that are used often and will replace them with a shorter string of data and make a type of key to use with it. If there is not a lot of long strings of data that are the same, it cannot compress it as much.

This should reduce the file size by about 25%. If you ever need to access the file again, you can extract the file from the zip archive.
