[I am new & have a question]

Hi GrandmaMouse, and welcome to Piriform.

 

ishan was asking what the program you are talking about is called, as Defraggler, as far as I'm aware, doesn't have the "Optimize" features you mention.

 

He was guessing it may be IObit SmartDefrag, which has these features, or some other Defragger.

 

Are you confusing Defragger with Defraggler? A Defragger is the generic description of any defragging program, whereas Defraggler is a Piriform product name?

 

No worries, as it's an easy thing to do with such similar names.

I just checked and it is SmartDefrag. I thought I downloaded it from Piriform but now I'm not quite sure where I downloaded it from or if I downloaded the right one.

Oh crap. I made a mistake. I was just wondering, lol.

Actually, I did search the Defraggler Docs for "Optimize" didn't come up with anything and therefore, the question. I googled, and found out that SmartDefrag has those options: Fast Optimize and Deep Optimize, so it was possible that she got confused. That's all.

 

Anyway here you go, Piriform Docs for Defreggler

Yes I'm still confused

What does fast optimize and deep optimize do? I haven't tried that yet because I'm afraid I'll lose my files & directories since I don't know what it does exactly. I only tried defragging.
