The new version of of Defraggler is taking forever to defrag my HD, I usually only do the files that are used most often but yesterday I decided to do the whole drive and after 5 hours it was only 85% done and each 1% was taking over a hour to do, the other thing is is I had 79.7GB free before I started the defrag and as it was going it went up to 95.4 so I finally stopped it.

Yeah that is the reason I posted this was so that it could maybe get figured out why it happened and not happen else, I guess I got lucky and had my HD space restored with no problems, I did that by just sending another video to the recycle bin and before cleaning it I checked Defraggler and all my HD space was back so I just restored the video file I sent to the bin and things are good.

Yeah the OS is on the 450GB drive, I also did not mention that I have Vista Home premium and I dont know if that matters. I did not get any warning message about the file being to big for the recycle bin before I sent it there it just went there. Everything is good now though so no more problems.

Thank you very much for your reply, I was not running Defraggler, I opened it and was watching the disk usage but it was not not running as in defragging or analyzing because I was getting curious after 2 hours of cleaning it had not stopped yet.

I sent a video I had made with Premiere Elements that was 18.9 GB to the recycle bin and when I ran the cleaner to clean it I knew it would take a while to clean but I was watching Defraggler and my hard disk that was used went from 39.1GB all the way to 450.7GB which is 100% full, as it was cleaning I was watching it go up and up so I thought it would go back to normal after it was done but when I came back the HD was full and I could do nothing about it. After some messing around with another video file, I deleted it and checked Defraggler before I ran CCleaner and bam the HD was back to normal so I restored the video file that I deleted and all is good now. I have never seen this before with CCleaner, it took my recycle bin video file that was only 18.9GB and made it over 410GB in size.
