Eddy_2 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hi all, There is a feature that I would appreciate very much in Defraggler, and that is that it could defrag the disk empty space. That is, to 'simply' move all files so that one is placed right after the other. That way, the empty disk space would be pretty much in one big chunk (apart from the files that Defraggler can't move). I would make that a separate option though. For example, another 'Defrag empty space' button next to the Analyze and Defrag buttons . Kind regards Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, the empty disk space would be pretty much in one big chunk I was going to request this exact same feature, to consolidate the free space at the end of the drive. Helpful when wanting to repartition. Thanks for the great, free product! Robbie G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_Jim_* Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 With the current version when you have it defrag an entire drive it will, after defragging the files, defrag the free space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzyguy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 It takes a long time (half an hour) for defraggler (Beta) to defrag the free space in my computer. ps: half an hour is quite a long time for defragging my drive. I'm not sure what's different about defragler or my drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAGO Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Defragging (or in this case, Defraggling ) free space requires extensive hard drive paging and quite a bit of file movement. It's not anything particular about Defraggler or your hard drive that causes this operation to take so long, it's just the operation itself is quite intensive. Woo for odd sentence structure.

Jazzyguy Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm not so sure. If I defrag again, it'll take another 30 minutes. Besides, I'm not the only one, check out this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
