[Defraggler making fragmentation worse.]

Zange0 a reboot cures 90% of computer issues.

 

Glad you are all set up again and ready to face another year

The odd thing was is that I'd rebooted several times since then, as long as I've got my space back though, I'm content.

[Defraggler making fragmentation worse.]

So, I don't know what happened, but after restarting my computer earlier this evening, the fragmentation suddenly dropped to 1% and I gained over 300GB of space back.

If there is anything anyone can think of for me to provide to help people in the future I will, but right now I'm just happy, if not a little confused.

I got a response from support saying that I should delete my restore points, which still hasn't fixed anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than 3 things that keep coming up?

Running defraggler consumes more space and makes fragmentation worse.

I've followed the advice of:

http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=35459 (stop VSS expansion)

http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=35458 (exclude restore point and hibernation files)

as well as deleting restore points to see if it would get me the space back (it didn't).

 

I found this post in MS it helped me

It referred me to this to delete unused Restore Points (Mine seems to be making large restore files)

Maybe it will help you

I've already tried clearing the restore points, it didn't really help, and that wouldn't fix the fragmentation from what I understand.

See my 4th response for (confusing) resolution.

It is getting to a severe and problematic point, and the windows defragmenter is doing nothing to fix is.

I'm on Windows 7 x64 running the most recent version of defraggler.
