hgw53t Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Percentages are ranging from about 22-29% after quick or full defragmenting. Sounds like to me that is extremely high. What can you tell me about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted November 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2014 Right above your post is this topic, it should lower your percentages http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=35458 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.

hgw53t Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Right above your post is this topic, it should lower your percentages http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=35458 I tried exactly what you said to try. It did not increase or decrease percentage- still hung at 23%. What does that mean exactly & is that anything to be concerned about? This is concerning the free edition of Defraggler that I am having problems with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgw53t Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 What operating system are you using? I am using Windows Vista Home Basic on a Personal Computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted November 17, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2014 Then if it were my machine I would clean out all but the last restore point as Vista seems to collect a lot of them. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-delete-system-restore-points-in-windows-vis.html (Please excuse the name of that site, I'm not insinuating that you are a dummy, however that site provides the clearest info on how to do this ) After you have done this, close the dialog boxes and run Defraggler to see what percentage it shows now.

hgw53t Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have just done a defrag of my hard drive. Here is what I am seeing right after I defragged and analyzed. Why are the fragmentation percentages so high and what does it mean? I have deleted all restore points in the past & it does lower the percentages way down, but only for a very short time. What procedure could I try in a sequence that you tell me in steps to see if it helps? Computer has been VERY slow to load most any website lately and takes a long time to close out a website. Attached is a shot of an analyze right after I did a quick defrag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted January 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2016 Vista tends to crate shadow copies for just about anything you do. http://www.piriform.com/docs/defraggler/technical-information/windows-vista-and-volume-shadow-copies What size do you have set for system restore?

hgw53t Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Not positive, but I believe 5-GB. It will not store anymore than about 10- maximum different shadow copies. I know I reduced it sometime ago from default, and would store 10- 15 shadow copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgw53t Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Fragmentation Percentages were at 39% today. I removed all but the latest restore point and did a quick defrag. The percentage dropped to 14% after that. My question is how can I keep the percentages down without having to keep on removing restore points?

Moderators Nergal Posted May 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2016 You can't, Windows is a messy child and begins fragmenting even while its being defragmented.
