Defraggler problem?

Defraggler
1

Hey, this is my first time posting on this forum. I have to admit, CCLeaner and Defraggler are very good programs. I've never found any program that has worked like this for me. But there is one problem. Everytime I defrag my computer, these files won't get defragged. Anyone know why? And can anyone suggest a solution to this problem of mine? Thanks :)

C:\System Volume Information\ belong to the System Restore feature of Windows, these files are not usually accessible to applications (unless you tweak folder permissions).

Turn off, then turn on the System Restore should empty these files automatically.

Thanks :D

EDIT: Btw, why can't I defrag .sys files? o.O

hiberfil.sys is the file windows uses to store your session when you hibernate the computer

pagefil.sys is the prefetch file (I believe)

Defragging either of these files can cause the system issues so Microsoft has made them not to be touched by defragging

The pagefile.sys file is used when the RAM is full, then the system uses something like an extension of the ram. The defragmented of these files (pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys), does not cause error, just can not be defragmented if these are in use.
