I was about to give up with this program after losing over 100 GB of hard drive free space when I ran it. It was scary watching the disk space just disappear right in front of my eyes.
Then I had to start reading the forum posts to see if anyone else is having this problem. Wow, I'm not alone.
I read the vss post where you need to go into an Administrator role to run the command prompt and tried it.
It worked. I got back 110GB, at least, 110 GigaBytes of disk space after deleting the "shadow copies". 110 GB!!!
Who'd have thought that defragmenting a drive would increase the amount of space. I thought that the idea was to "compact the fragmented files". That is, make a fragmented file less fragmented.
Then when I ran DF again, I lost another 10 GB. I ran the vss command again and deleted the files and I got back 10 GB of disk space. When will I ever learn? It's a disaster.
I think i forgot the reason I purchased Defraggler.
Isn't supposed to compress the file structure so the files are closer together and less access time etc etc?
Why did I buy this program? It seems to have consumed a lot of time troubleshooting. I'm thinking I will just go back to Windows Defrag. Why not? Wish I could get a refund. It's been a real waste of time.
Sorry, but, This program needs some help before I can recommend it to anyone and I wished I hadn't actually purchased it. I Free Trial is indeed recommended from me.
Yikes!
