Dear All,
A strange thing happended. I run defraggler on a few years old Finnish Vista (Amilo Si3655) computer.
The following lists the information Defraggler gives before and after the operation (I used finnish version and tried to translate terms back to english my self):
Disk health = good.
Before defragging:
1078 fragmented files = 49,0 GB
12419 fragments together
27% fragmented
Benchmark: Random reading 1,01 MB/s
Disk space used 180,5 GB
Disk space free 11,6 GB
Disk size 192,1 GB
After defragging:
27 fragmented files =28,8 GB
321 fragments together
19% fragmented
Benchmark: Random reading 1,30 MB/s
Disk space used 154,4 GB
Disk space free 37,2 GB
Disk size 192,1 GB
So, it appear that there is more than 25GB more free space in the disk. Where does it come from or what has gone?
I really cannot say is some files have gone, I need to check that.
Is it possible that defraggler has fixed something in the file system, so that fragmented and possibly messy system used more space than it should?
I didn't empty recycle bin when defraggler asked. But it appear that there are only few and relatively new files. (though it is possible we emptiend the bin a month ago, but cannot remember.)
So, I am very curious about this. What has happened? Is this a bug or did defraggler fix something?
So far I haven't encountered any missing files, and the computer feels to operate more smoothly than before.
Thanks.
