The original method recommended by Microsoft was to use a backup utility to copy/move files off the hard drive and then restore them. The would reorganize the drive and eliminate file fragmentation.
Independent vendors developed a method the defragment a drive by moving data and empty spaces around on the disk eliminating small empty areas and combining file fragments into large contiguous areas. Microsoft eventually accepted and adopted the defragging technology and made it available as a built in operating system utility.
There are several programs available to do this.some free, some not. Depending on the amount of congestion on the drive, some work better than others, some work faster, and some give the user more flexibility in how the drive is defragmented or how individual files are defragmented.

Junk files are temporary or unused files that are created by operating systems or other software during their installation and running process. The hard disk accumulates thousands of junk files and captures a lot of space. Then the system starts performing slowly. If these temporary files are not deleted, they can cause the system to crash.
