System volume information folder

Defraggler

Defraggler will not defrag folders in the System volume information folder. These folder are very large sometimes as large a 10 gb. The folders are named something like this {1b72586b-cb53...}. I am running Vista sp 2, 32-bit. The disk drive is about 230 gb and has 47% fragmentation. The files in question take up about 30gb of space on the hard drive. The drive was check for errors in Defraggler and none were found. What need to happen to get these files defregged?

I see it this way, John; look at the big picture. These are really just temporary files. Every few days they are replaced. And being fragmented MAY effect your system by SLIGHTLY slowing down a restore. How often do you restore? I see no importance in defragging them. If you want to reduce your disc fragmentation substantially, simply eliminate those restore points/shadow copies.
