defragments
Tidies disk sectors
Defragments means reorganizes scattered data on a computer storage device so related pieces are stored together.
When files are saved and deleted over time, their fragments get scattered across a hard drive; defragmenting consolidates them for faster access.
The utility defragments your hard drive overnight.
With solid-state drives, defragmentation is unnecessary and even harmful.
