Will this move any of my documents so that i might not be able to find them?

[alphacomputerca]

@JordanAndGregShow No, it will not. They will be safe.

I had only 1 percent space left on my computer one tiny white line. I had to delete stuff jut so the defrager could run

@KlayyJayy Use Disk Cleanup as well to remove temp files. That will make more room as well :-)

Defragging your computer to speed it up is a waste of time. Defragging will only speed it up by maybe 1%. ~ David Malan, Harvard University computer science professor

@pcjwss How did you make out?

@KlayyJayy It's a good idea to use Disk Cleanup before Defrag. This will remove temp files off hard drive & create room as well.
