When you defrag your hard drive, it puts all of the pieces needed to run your programs in a close proximity to each other. When you delete programs on your hard drive, you can leave empty spaces where data of the program or file were inserted during its life on your computer. When you install a program, the computer seeks out the first available cell to place the data. The computer could be saving the data at the beginning, middle and/or end of your hard drive. This forces your hard drive to hunt all over the place when trying to access all the data for the program and putting them together to run your application. When you defrag your machine, all the program’s pieces will be moved so that they are all in a sequence. Your hard drive will run more efficiently when access program.
