Some of the right-click options in Files (nautilus) are determined by systemwide nautilus extensions, and may indeed be removed by removing that extension.
To remove the "E-mail" option:
sudo apt remove nautilus-sendto
Removing the "Compress" option is less obvious. This comes installed with the file compression utility file-roller. You will remove the option with the following command, but you also will remove the file compression utility file-roller:
sudo apt remove file-roller
If you want to remove only the option, but keep the application file-roller, then you need to resort to an unsupported hack: delete the file `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-fileroller.so'. SO proceed at your own risk. In practice, it is better to rename the file rather than deleting it. Then you can easily restore to the previous state if needed.
To move the file out of the way:
sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-fileroller.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-fileroller.so.old
To restore, just switch the two file paths.
This is "unsupported", because you operate out of the packet management at the file level. An upgrade in file-roller will put the file back, so you then will need to repeat the process.
