In the maintenance of file systems, defragmentation is a process that reduces the degree of fragmentation. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments, extents). It also attempts to create larger regions of free space using compaction to impede the return of fragmentation. Some defragmentation utilities try to keep smaller files within a single directory together, as they are often accessed in sequence.

Defragmentation is advantageous and relevant to file systems on electromechanical disk drives (hard disk drives, floppy disk drives and optical disk media). The movement of the hard drive's read/write heads over different areas of the disk when accessing fragmented files is slower, compared to accessing the entire contents of a non-fragmented file sequentially without moving the read/write heads to seek other fragments.

this would be used instead of deleting the files you would compress them and make more space

If you're a normal user (meaning you use your computer for occasional web browsing, email, games, and the like), defragmenting once per month should be fine. If you're a heavy user, meaning you use the PC eight hours per day for work, you should do it more often, approximately once every two weeks. Also, if your computer is running slowly, consider defragmenting, as the fragmentation may be the cause of slower operation.

File fragmentation causes a huge degradation in system performance, and over time can bring your system to a near crawl. Fragmentation causes your computer to use excessive resources (memory and CPU time) to complete tasks related to reading and writing files.]]> 2020-10-14 13:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jakerox233/cr5di66alh90xvnb/wish/828553949 How would you use it jakerox233 https://padlet.com/jakerox233/cr5di66alh90xvnb/wish/828574527 To defrag a HDD you need to:
1. Go to file explorer and right-click the HDD drive.
2. Click properties at the bottom.
3. Click tools at the top.
4. Click disk defragment and then follow the steps.]]> 2020-10-14 13:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jakerox233/cr5di66alh90xvnb/wish/828574527
