What is a contiguous file in a computer?
A contiguous file in a computer is one that is placed on a storage drive in such a way that it is in sequential portions of the drive. This is generally regarded as advantageous because it results in better performance by decreasing the amount of time it takes the computer to read the data (compared to when a single file is spread over a larger portion of the drive and not located in contiguous sectors). The performance gains experienced from contiguous files is the best reason to defragment a drive.
Is it good to delete contiguous files?

Is running Disk Defragmenter a quick and easy way to delete temporary Internet files that have accumulated on the hard drive?

Howe do i Rearrange files on external drive?
You can defragment an external drive connected to a computer running Windows by opening the disk defragment tool and selected the external drive. Though if the external drive is an SSD, there would be no point in defragmenting it or "rearranging files" as there are no parts that need to be moved before the file can be accessed.
What are defragmentation programs?
They take all of the fragmented pieces of files on your hard drive and consolidate them back into contiguous files. This can speed up performance since your computer doesn't have to search for the file fragments.
What is Difference between contiguous set of files and a noncontiguous set of files?
Contiguous: Immediately adjacent. For example, contiguous sectors on a disk are sectors that come one after the other. Frequently, a file stored on disk can become fragmented, which means that it is stored on non-contiguous sectors. taken from http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/contiguous.HTML So one could assume that the difference is that contiguous files are files that are stored immediately adjacent from one another (together) and non-contiguous files are not stored adjacently hence are separated or scattered. Hope this was of some help.
What are contigous files?
Contiguous files are files on your hard drive that are all in one place, and not split up ( fragmented ). Sometimes your computer can take one file, and split it into multiple locations on your disk. This is what Defragmenting does. It takes those fragmented files, and puts them together.
