Stupid Question.... When the Disc Cleanup is running, I assume that you should not be using the PC at all? Right? Just sitting by and waiting for it to complete? Thanks!

Yes, Thanks to everyone who has provided help. I really appreciate it. Thank you for the steps you provided above. I will work my through them. It may take me awhile as this is my only PC and I have to be able to use it. But I will give it a try. I will be sure to let you know how I make out.

Thank you for your help. All this is new to me and I am not very experienced. Here is what I think you asked me for... 1) Run a Quick Defrag 2) Run Analyse 3) Provide a screen shot of “9 big ones..." being the 10 largest files left that were not defragmented In file ScreenShots-2b.docx 4) ccleaner->tools->system restore In file Screen Shots -3 (system restore points).docx You indicate that it is okay to remove the old restore point? Thanks for your patience with my learning as we go along. Screen Shots - 2b.docxScreen Shots - 3 (system restore points).docx

Thank you all for all your insights. Included in the attachment that contains 1) the HDD information requested. 2) files left over after Analyse/files selected to defrag Screen Shots.docx Thank you for all your help. This is all new to me and I can use all the help I can get.

Okey Dokey... Just did: 1) analyse 2) select all files 3) defrag selected files, and as mentioned there are a few it cannot defrag. Still 39% fragmented. So after doing the above, not much has changed. Guess it is what it is... Must have tired out the PC, not sure all this trying to defrag is getting me much other than being very frustrated. I should probably stop..... Unless there is something that I have really goofed up....any thoughts????? History: 1) Started at 27% fragmentation 2) Ran DEFRAG using the defrag button, * fragmentation went from 27% to 22%,right after as a curiosity I ran analyse and Fragmentation was at 40%????? Since then have tired : 3) ran quick defrag getting fragmentation 40% 4) ran advanced/defrag free space getting fragmentation 39% 5) ran analyse getting fragmentation 39% 6) went to Files tab and selected all the files, ran defrag selected files, got 39% fragmentation.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it. When I "defragged" I just used the defrag button to the right of the analyse button. I also tried "defrag freespace" that took the percent fragmentation down by 1% I also, "defragged by file" for a really fragmented file, but that didn't have any overall impact. So I don't understand why after a defrag , the fragmentation went from 22% to 40 %. But right now it is a 39%. Any other thoughts? By the way , after a defrag should you reboot the machine? Thanks!

Defraggler v2022.995(64-bit) PC: Windows 7 Professional Hoping someone can help me understand... Ran “Quick Defrag” and it started and completed with 27% fragmentation. So I ran the “defrag”. It took 1hour and 20 minutes and completed with 22% fragmentation. I then ran “analyze” and it now shows 40% fragmentation??? I guess I am confused as to why it now appears to be more fragmented than before. Did I do something wrong? Thank you for any help you can provide.
