From: Leonard Grey on 14 Jan 2010 22:03 Defragmenting your hard disk takes the fragmented pieces of your files and puts them together - like assembling a jigsaw puzzle - so they lie on your hard disk in a contiguous fashion. There is nothing to remove. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est John Callaway wrote: > In XP SP2 how do I remove fragmented files after I run defrag? > > JPC

This works better if you have a slave hd with another page file on it.The reason those files couldnt be defraged was they were in use.

They are your data files and those that the system uses - fragmented or not, they are complete. If you truly don't need or want them... delete them. There will always be some fragmented files on your disk. They harm nothing. The only way to get rid of them is to format the disk. |
