I would never recommend compressing any drive with system folders on it. That just kills performance.

Empty the recycle bin and configure the recycle bin to use less disk space. I couldn't help it... it frees up space.

Along those lines disable saving deleted files in the recycle bin.

What's on the server? How large is the C: drive? Is this Small Business Server or just plain server? Is the server running Exchange or SQL? Something else?
how about deleting the temp files and reducing the size of temporary internet files too.
If your really being tight with space, delete bmp files from the windows folders, delete kb*****.log too if you've removed uninstall files. oyou could also move servicepackfiles from windows folder to another drive

You can redirect where temp files are stored, as well as moving the print spool folder (if the server is also a print server).
