Defrag Free Space Problems

[some guy]

Hi, can i firstly say I love defraggler. It works amazingly and i'm yet to have trouble using it. So thanks.

I have found however, that whenever I run a complete defrag of my hard drives, it always has toruble defragging free space. it will defrag my files as normal, and then start to defrag fee space. However, EVERY time i run it, it always gets to about 45% Free Space Defragged and then slows down greatly and takes ages to finish. As i speak, I am on my second defrag of my free space, and after completing it once, it is still slowed down at about 45% again. Just thought I should ask if there is a known reason for this, and if there is a fix.

 

Thanks

We are currently working on improving the freespace defrag algorithm so that it consolidates freespace when it's defragging files rather than as a separate process. This will make the defrag faster and more effective and also cure any issues like this.

You have to right click on the drive name and press Defrag Drive. Once it has defragged your files, it will do the free space!
