                  Disk Defragmentation

                  When  we  create  or  edit  a  file,  it  can  get  stored  in  separate  pieces  across  different  memory
                  locations on the hard drive, leading to fragmentation. This makes the system work harder to read
                  the file, which can slow down the computer. The Disk Defragmenter in Windows reorganises

                  fragmented data to improve efficiency.
                  To access Disk Defragmenter in Windows 11, follow the given steps:

                  Step 1:   Click on the Start button.
                                                                          2
                  Step 2:   Type  Defragment and Optimize
                            Drives in the search box.                     3

                  Step 3:   Click on the Defragment and Optimize
                            Drives app.

                              The  Optimize Drives window  will
                            appear.
                  Step 4:  Select the drive you want to defragment.
                  Step 5:  Click  on the  Optimize button.  It will
                             optimise the selected disk.                   1
