I have been using Defraggler for a while. It is definitely nicer than Windows' Disk Defragger. The one trait which still sems confusing are the two 'Defrag Freespace' options. I realize that this question has been asked before, but after reading that discussion I am no closer to understanding the actions assigned to these two options. I have been thinking that 'Defrag Free Space' would move the solitary blue clusters in the free space to the end of the other blue clusters. This is obviously incorrect. So, do these two options refer to the free space within a cluster?

I would appreciate receiving a CLEAR explanation of these to options, since the online documentation does not refer to these options.

Thank You!

Another confusion is that "defrag Freespace" should leave alone the big files that were move to the end of the drive (if that option is selected).
