I'm sorry to hear that. What folder specifically did you try?
Most things other than the base Windows folder should be fairly safe - the Windows folder itself (assuming it's called *:\Windows) and any file specifically tagged with the system flag should be skipped, as mentioned in the README.
Generally I'd recommend limiting it to your Program Files folder, or a Steam folder. Not things like your user profile.
The Windows folder can be safely compressed using compact.exe via the CompactOS feature - this is specifically not supported by Compactor itself.

compact.exe /CompactOS:always is designed to do this safely.
@Freaky Maybe you wish to expose this via your UI? N.B.: this can take hours, so should be done async/in the background. I've found running it @ realtime priority maxes out disk usage @ 100% (duh), but cpu <4%.
