Disk analysis gives you a visual map of fragmented files and the areas they occupy. Defraggler lets you use that view to defragment a whole drive or select individual files and folders.
What does drive analysis show?
Start with an analysis to see the drive’s fragmentation status before choosing a task. Defraggler presents the results in a visual drive map, with blocks representing areas of storage. The map gives a quick sense of where fragmented data is located, while the file details identify which files are affected and how fragmented they are.
This view connects the overall drive condition to specific files. You can inspect the analysis and then choose a target, instead of treating every file on the drive as one maintenance task.
Choose a defragmentation target
Defraggler can reorganize an entire disk, or work on selected files and folders. Targeted defragmentation focuses the operation on particular data; the full-drive option handles the broader storage layout. The program also identifies large and frequently used files, which can help you pick specific targets for the operation.
- Analyze a drive to locate fragmented files.
- Select a file or folder for targeted defragmentation.
- Choose a whole-drive operation when you want to address fragmentation across the disk.
Scheduled drive maintenance
Set defragmentation to run automatically at intervals you choose. Scheduling suits recurring maintenance: once configured, the task can run without being started manually each time. The schedule applies to defragmentation, while the analysis and visual map provide a way to inspect fragmentation when you open the program.
