Is
It Necessary to Clean Computer Hard Disk Fragments Often?
"Hello,
your guys have ever cleaned your computer hard disk fragments often? Recently,
I am thinking whether it is necessary to defragment computer hard disk

any idea? Thanks for any clue here! "
Hello, friends! The hard disk fragment cleaning
is really necessary to keep hard disk with enough free space and also keep it
healthy. However, there is also no need to defragment it too often, like every
week. Merely keep performing the disk defragging process there once a moth.
How
Are the Hard Disk Fragments Generated?
Generally, our computers store the assigned
files separately on different sections on our PC internal/external hard disks,
not on the continuous sections there as we often think. Moreover, the computer
Windows sometimes will also use the virtual memory to hold computer information
and frequently write or read our computer hard disk. And then, the hard disk
fragments are generated during these processes. And then, over the time, the
longer the computer hard disk is used there, the more the hard disk fragments
is created and takes hard disk space.
Why
to Defrag Computer Internal/External Hard Disk?
Without defragging the computer
internal/external hard disk for a really, really long time, the computer will
generate more and more hard disk fragments. And these hard disk fragments will
not only occupy the computer hard disk space to affect the common use of your
PC hard disk, and also will increase the possibilities of losing the reserved hard disk files, videos, movies, mails and the like contents. Therefore, in
order to keep your hard disk effectively and cause no unwanted hard disk
damages, it is absolutely necessary to defrag your assigned hard disk.

Not Clean the Disk Fragments Too Often!

color and even damaging the shoe vamps, or even worse, right? The too
frequently disk defragging processes also is able to damage your hard disk and
even causes disk physical damages. Therefore, do not do that disk cleaning
processes too often. Simply do that one a moth, not one a week. That is

Additional
Tips to Keep in Mind Before Any Disk Defrag:
1).
Keep the target hard disk contents unused before any disk defrag.
In case that the hard disk defragging
process is automatically stopped and restarted again when it detects some of
your hard disk files or applications are still using on your PC or elsewhere,
you’d better close all running software, processes and the likes. Just keep
everything inside unused temporarily.
2).
Check hard disk data and prepare drive data backups elsewhere in advance.
As the common hard disk erasing process,
the hard disk defragging process also is possible to wipe something stored on
your selected hard disk. Therefore, in case of losing any important files,
images, films and more, always check your hard disk data carefully and create
disk data backups on different external hard disks or USB flash drives well. Of
course, if you do delete something useful without double checking, also go try
external hard disk data recovery software to recover deleted files from that
external hard disk.
3).
Apply computer hard disk managing software to help you.
Of course, if you think the disk defragging
process once a month is also troublesome and impossible for you, also do not
worry. Go download hard disk managing software and let it scan your disk
thoroughly to see whether it is necessary to perform a defragging process
there.
