Defrag vs Defrag Freespace (understanding problem) in Defraggler Posted July 17, 2013 Hi there, Since 1h I searched for an answer, but don't find the right way. I defraged my 1TB (~200GB freespace) HDD, for a long long while. Now I try to defrag freespace (whole files) and it will takes again a long time. Why? I defraged the HDD some minutes a go. Is the defrag freespace process not included in the normal defrag? Why? It's an understanding problem. When a tool defrag the HDD, it's not necessary to defrag the free space? What's the perfect procedure? Normal Defrag > Defrag Free Space (whole files)? Just Defrag Free Space? I can't sleep, when I don't unterstand how something works. Thanks for a constructive response.
