System Mechanic Defragmentation Report - Defragmentation Results

The System Mechanic Defragmentation Report is available after running (or canceling) a defragmentation, and it:

• Compares the current fragmentation levels to the levels prior to running the defragmentation.

• Shows any files that were not defragmented (due to being locked or in use) and allows you to schedule those files to be defragmented the next time your start or restart your computer.

The Report is divided as follows:

Current file fragmentation

Click the heading to show or hide a graphical representation of the current file fragmentation.
