Allow moving all files to start of partition

often suggested, never implemented - yet.

try a great little tool by EaseUS called Partition Master to resize partitions when the Windows Disk Management GUI can't do it due to data at the end of the partition.

Backup now & backup often.

Thanks.  I'll take a look at it.

 

Hopefully Piriform can implement this suggestion... especially since it's often suggested! :-)

+1 for this. I don't understand the free space is not made contiguous in the first place, as part of the normal algorithm.

Surely it's just basic organisation of the disk not to have little 'islands' of isolated blocks floating in the sea of free space?

 

As the OP suggested, a lot of people are defragging so they can shrink the drive, because they want to duel boot another OS.

 

And where that is not the case, in the average user's mind it looks as though the program is not 'optimising' their disk as much as it could.
