When I shutdown my PC does it still use power from the plug? Should I turn it off at the plug once it is shutdown, or can I leave it on?

I have just reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything I had on before and nothing else. However, I'm finding, in the root directory, sqm files that were never there before. They are sqmdata00.sqm and sqmnoopt00.sqm. Everytime I turn on my computer there are more of them. The 00 on the new files become 01, 02 etc with each new start of my computer. They are only visible with the folder settings set to show hidden folders. What are these files? Where do they come from and how can I stop them cluttering my hard drive short of manually deleting them all the time? I have this nightmare of my hard drive eventually becoming full of these 1 KB files.

Wednesday evening i was sitting and i was doing my project(which i have a deadline for it),the weather was hot that day and fan system of the whole building was down and off.
I really needed to take a shower cause to relieve,but i prefered to sit and do my computer project(Cause on its previous day,was not able to do it).
I was busy with my project,that suddenly i heared the ring of the phone,it was our close neighbour friend in the apartment,which is somehow mine and my mother's friend.
She has recently bought a computer for her only nice little daughter,she asked me on phone,that her daughter doesn't like to learn working with internet from her brother,and prefers to learn that from me,(she and her little daughter are like aunt and cousin for me,as they are our close friends in this apartment).

she said it wont take more than half an hour,and she also mentioned that on thurseday,her doughter is out,that meant she was asking from me to come over and teach her on that present day(wednesday).

I knew that it would be much more than half an hour for me,cause i needed to at least take a shower and stop doing my project.
so i told her that "sorry,but now i cant cause right now i'm busy with project,and as its moving on,so i cant stop,so if couldnt come today,then i will come on friday(as mentioned about about her daughter is not home on its day after(i.e:thurseday)."
OK ,she said thanks and i thought that,when she has told that she doesnt like to learn it from his brother and wants to learn from me,she can wait until the friday in this case.

Well last night(thursday),when my mom returned from the daily walk with this close neighbour mom,she told me that "She said,her daughter learnt it from his brother.

I was just wondering that when somebody ask someone do they really expect to have a ready quick service?

What would you tell them if you see them after this story?(cause we meet eachother almost everyday)..

If you were me what would you do in this case?

I've heard that one should not allow a HDD's free memory get too low because it will cause instability in a computer.

At what point should I begin to delete items on my HDD?

For example, right now my primary 40GB HDD has a capacity of 32.8GB of useable space. Of this, 27.1GB is used and 5.69GB is free.

Is this cutting it a little too close?

Big Question: Should I "compress" the drive to save space? If I do, will this affect the operation of my computer? If so, in what way?
