Just like your car needing a periodical tune up, so does your computer. Until Windows Vista there was a graphical representation that allow you to watch the process of cleaning your computer. However, Vista just lets you know that it is being done along when the job is finished.
Disk Cleanup removes all the unused and deleted files. Defragmenting organizes the remaining files. This preserves the integrity of the remaining data along increase retrieval time of those files.
To Defrag your hard drive do the following steps.
- Left click on the Start Orb
- Go to All Programs
- Left click on Accessories, then System Tools and finally Disk Defragmenter
- Click Defragment Now
NOTE: If you know that your computer is going to be running, you can schedule the defragmenting process when it is convenient for you.
