∙ 14y agoDefragmentation is generally a good thing, as it organises the data on your computer more efficiently. However, it is probably a good idea to backup your hard drive before doing a defragment, as the process involves moving the data from one section on your drive to a new section. Some data could be lost in the event of a crash or power outage.

∙ 12y agono for most, as long as the defragger uses Microsoft APIs. I use PerfectDisk on my computer and it works great. It is certified by Microsoft, so it's definitely a safe choice.

What is the advantage and disadvantage of defragmentation?
Traditional hard drives arrange data on metal platters in a circular track similar to a vinyl record. The drive functions best when the data is arranged sequentially. During the normal use of a computer files are created, change size, and are removed. When this happens small fragments of the files are created throughout the drive. This fragmentation of data is normal, but gradually degrades the speed of the hard drive. To load a specific file the hard drive must read from many different areas and assemble the file in the system memory from the many small file fragments. Defragmentation is the process of re-organizing the hard drive data including the file fragments into a sequential order. Regular defragmentation will allow a hard drive to load files and programs faster than one which is not defragmented. Newer solid state drives do not have the same performance loss issues from fragmentation that traditional hard drives do. Solid state drives should not be defragemented as it decreases the life of the drive.

Is it possible that my laptop removed several good working games and programs because of defragmentation?
No. It is impossible for defragmentation software to remove anything from your computer. The only way that it could would be if you closed the defrag program while it was in the middle of working, and even then it shouldn't remove multiple games, maybe create a few missing files, but not remove them. If you are using Windows 10, I have heard a few rumors about how Microsoft can uninstall any pirated software on your computer. But no, it is impossible for a defragmentation program to remove good, working games, let alone any program.
