How do you run the defragmenter utility on a Mac Mini?
Mac OS X manages the disk in an entirely different way than Windows does. According to Apple defragmentation should never be necessary and so they do not provide a defragmentation utility. I have used 3rd party defragmenters on Macs and although they did reduce fragmentation significantly there was no detectable effect on the computer's performance. This matches Apple's comments on the issue.

What is the difference between disk clean up and disk defragmentation?
Disk defragmentation organises the file structure of harddisk by gathering files that are stored in fragments & piecing them together to form a large fragments. It makes the drive function more quickly & reduce the amount of hops to read single file. Disk clean up will delete all the junk & temporary files & will increase the speed of ur computer by creating more space
Is a disk defragmenter a windows utility that is commonly used to format secondary devices?
No. It is a tool used to logically organise the files on a hard drive to increase access speed of these files when being accessed by a program. It has no association with formatting. Formatting is completely different from disk defragmentation. Many times files pulls out from their usual place, and defragmentation only puts them back to their places so that for the next time they can be accessed conveniently.
