About content compression
Content compression is designed to reduce the size of your BlackBerry® device data while maintaining the integrity of that data. When content
compression is turned on, your device compresses all device data, including messages, contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos. You should
keep content compression turned on.
If content compression and content protection are turned on, your device compresses device data before encrypting it.

When memory cleaning is turned on, the memory cleaning application is designed to delete sensitive data automatically in the following
situations:
• when you insert your device in a holster
• when you do not use your device for a specified period of time
• when you synchronize with your computer
• when you change the time or the time zone for your device
• when you lock your device
