What Is Defragmenting a Computer

De-fragmentation (also known as ‘def-rag’) is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file system i.e. it re-arranges the files on the disk. Fragmentation happens to a hard drive over a period of time as the user continues to change, save or delete files. These changes are often stored at a location on the hard disk that is different from the original file and so the additional changes are. Both the file and the hard disk itself become fragmented, and results in slowing down of Computer as it has to look in many different places to open a file. View More...
