Disc Cleanup can compress files that are not used that frequently,and this can save disc space.
So to answer your question,no don't delete them.
Although you may not access them that often,they are still needed,either by the system or by a program.

Compress old files is a good thing? Should I do it? Because it says that I can save almost 300,000k

You've answered your own question LK. "Because it says that I can save almost 300,000k"
