contents We call a metric space $s$-negligible iff its $s$-dimensional Hausdorff measure vanishes. We show that every countably $m$-rectifiable subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ can be displaced from every $(2n-m)$-negligible subset by a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism that is arbitrarily $C^\infty$-close to the identity. As a consequence, every countably $n$-rectifiable and $n$-negligible subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ is arbitrarily symplectically squeezable. Both results are sharp w.r.t. the parameter $s$ in the $s$-negligibility assumption. The proof of our squeezing result uses folding. Potentially, our folding method can be modified to show that the Gromov width of $B^{2n}_1\setminus A$ equals $π$ for every countably $(n-1)$-rectifiable closed subset $A$ of the open unit ball $B^{2n}_1$. This means that $A$ is not a barrier.
