Defraggler in windows 7 does not defrag but fragments(makes it worse)


Recommended Posts

This problem started with 1.16. its the only defrag program that reads the pagefile on my HDD and for some reason when i defrag(with defraggler) it only makes the fragmentation worse. It is because its windows 7 or what? I uninstalled and reinstalled and still does the same thing. I installed other software(auslogics) and it works fine.

Are there some big (hundreds of thousands of kB) fragmented files with random names in C:\System Volume Information\ ?

 

 

Yeah..and its more like in the MB of files.My first one(and biggest one) is the pagefile.sys with 4 gigs with just only 2 fragments though. but everything else has got like i guess on average about 50 fragments(i just ran the auslogics defragmenter so that might not help) But see every time i run piriform defraggler it just makes the fragmentation worse. right now the defraggler is telling me that i have 12% fragmentation when i just ran the auslogics defrag(AD tells me 0%).

These may be "system" files.

How do i solve this problem

Try to do what Aethec says:

Add C:\System Volume Information\ to Defraggler's Exclude list, and see what happens.

You could also delete all system restore points, but it's not a good idea.
