Fragmentation increasing after running defrag.

Just installed new version 1.13.155- ran analysis, had 102 fragmented files, totaling 12.1 GB, 295 total fragments, and 30% fragmented disk. Run defrag and new analysis says I now have 24 fragmented files, totaling 13.9 GB, 111 total fragments, and now 32% fragmented.

This seems to me to be going in the wrong direction...shouldn't my frag file size be getting smaller? And the disk fragmentation shrinking? :blink:

This is very common, from what I have gathered Defraggler is just moving files around so it basically makes a copy until it's been moved then deletes the file.

I could be wrong but don't worry about it, just wait and it will defrag, if it doesn't the first time just search the forum and you might find a topic that relates to what's happened to you.

No, this is not common. But some files are ignored such as temporary internet files. So if you were surfing while Defraggler worked that could be the explanation. Try to run CCleaner or another program that can delete cache & cookies and then run Analyze in Defraggler. Did that make any difference?

An easy way for cleaning is:

1. Start -> Run -> write -> shell:cache -> highlight all files -> right click an file delete. Say no if promt asks if you want to delete non-temp files.

2. Start -> Run -> write -> shell:cookies -> highlight all cookies -> right click an choose delete. Say no if promt asks if you want to delete non-cookie files

Even CCleaner is not that fast! B)
