Does defraggler move the system files on a hdd (needed to shrink volume)?

I downloaded defraggler to give it a try. It looks very clean and uncluttered which gives me a sense of trust. Still 2 hours 30 minutes to go defragging 700 gb worth of data. I have a question too.

 

The reason I defrag this non-system F drive with data is because truecrypt could not

"shrink the filesystem to create a new volume header". After some reading it became clear

that unmovable system files could be the culprit preventing FS shrinkage. Looking at the defraggler drive map on my screen I only see 1 purple "MFT area" block positioned upper left.

 

Will defraggler eventually move any system files on this non-system F drive to a location so the partition will

be able to shrink? Or do I need additional tools to do this?

defragmenting takes a long time, it's a given that it'll take a whine time estimate is just that estimate based on momentarily changing data

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.
