Thanks so much for this post.. because I used to defrag all the time.. and clean out my cache all the time.. yet I must admit, I’ve not done it in a while.. I’m getting right to it now. Thank you and keep smiling
I’m a PC user and I’ve never tried using any defragmenting software other than the built-in Windows Disk Defragmenter. How is the other 3rd party ones better than Windows Disk Defragmenter anyway?
Thank you for this defragmentation info. Scheduling is one of the good choice in this process.
I do defrag my computer right before I start working. This makes it clean and run smoothly. I also clear out browser history.
