SlackerITGuy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So here's the dealeo fellas, I just finished doing some HDD cleaning, and I thought it would be a good idea to defrag my drive afterwards, everything went smooth as silk, but then I saw that Defraggler was telling me (after the defrag) that my drive was still 17% fragmented. After running it 1 more time, boom, it said the same thing, so, after seeing that, I went and booted up Windows Defragger, and did a quick analysis on the drive and it said the drive was 0% fragmented. Which one should I believe? The weird thing is that, I haven't done anything to warrant a 17% fragmentation number, just uninstalled a couple of games and apps. The max I've seen with my drive was 1% fragmentation. What could be causing Defraggler to show such a elevated fragmentation number? thanks in advanced.

kroozer Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Windows Defragger doesn't count SVI. Add up your SVI, should be 17%. You can't defrag SVI but CC can delete most of it. CCleaner ➢ Tools ➢ System Restore. Remove some points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroozer Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 If not SVI, what is your file list showing that may account for the 17%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlackerITGuy Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 If not SVI, what is your file list showing that may account for the 17%? Bunch of files, but the most noticeable are these 2: pagefile.sys ~4GB hiberfil.sys ~3GB Those 2 files alone account for the roughly ~7 GB of fragmented files on my drive (17%). EDIT: So I just deleted the hiberfil.sys file (following a very detailed step by step guide over @ sevenforums.com) and the fragmentation number went down to 11% (~4GB), which would be the pagefile.sys file. This is weird since this is the 1st time since using Defraggler that it has showed me the pagefile as fragmented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Do a boot defrag, takes only seconds. Edit: You can also set your pc to clear the Paging File at every shutdown with MS Fixit 50463. It clears mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
