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