Reorganize the files on a disk to optimize disk performance and reliability.

Reorganize the files on a disk to optimize disk performance and reliability.

To open


Control Panel -> [System and Maintenance] -> Defragment your hard drive

Command Prompt -> dfrgui


Description

As you create files on your hard disk, they become defragmented so that a single file is stored in several different noncontiguous locations. As more files become fragmented, the reliability and performance of the hard drive diminish. Disk Defragmenter reorganizes the files and folders on a drive so that the files are stored contiguously, and the free space is contiguous as well.
