Defrag Freespace

[NewHaunter]

What happens when I do "Defrag Freespace"?

And what is the difference with "Defrag Freespace (allow fragmentation)?

 

There is no helpfile.

I don't understand the explanation.

I think he uses the word "defragmentation" instead of "fragmentation".

Hello NewHaunter,

Also accept my Welcome to the Forums.

 

You "understood" my explanation perfectly. It was worded incorrectly.

What can I say about my original post but that you are exactly correct.

I did use the word "defragmentation" three or four times when it should have been "fragmentation".

I have corrected the post. Please check it and see if it makes more sense now.

These links are great to learn what "defragmentation" is for and when best to do it. Also covers Free Space fragmentation.

I must have "fragmented" my coffee intake too much the morning I created that post.

 

Good luck,
