After 0 fragments, new files installed, unrelated fragments appear?

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.
