Forsaken Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hello, I am unsure how fragmentation occurs? I used Defraggler and got all files to 0 fragments except $MFT file was in 2 fragments. I downloaded some new files and those files were fragmented which I understand. But then some new fragments appeared from a computer game I have installed. I did not play this game since I defragmented. Can someone please explain why this occurs? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted May 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2017 Sadly that's how it works on Windows. I think of Windows as a messy child. As soon as you clean the room (defragment) s/he starts to make it messy again. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Forsaken Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Sorry was a bad joke, saying I don't like seeing the fragmented squares on a Defragmentation Application. But you confirmed for me that it cannot be solved as new fragments will appear for any files when new files are generated. Now I have started Fragment analysis then selecting all fragmented files and just defragging those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted May 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 27, 2017 Now I have started Fragment analysis then selecting all fragmented files and just defragging those. a much, much better idea. what you were originally chasing was the Holy Grail - simply impossible to achieve, and sustain. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
