Disk volume fragmentation?

[luminore]

I need download big file ( ~200MB), then i'll burn it into CD and this file
no needs me anymore, so I will remove it.
Will the removing a big file cause a disk fragmentation? I.e. I put on a
disk a big file that takes a big space, so it cause disk volume
fragmentation?

I dont think so but u can just defrag after u remove
200MB. What r ur alternatives?

I could have 2 50KB files alone on a 200GB HD & both
could be fragmented!

I defrag my data part 1/4days cause I add/delete files
& their contents often.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

No & No. Even if it did, you can always run the Disk Defragmenter,

If you add and delete lots of large files frequently, the disk tends to get fragmented and it can cause the system to become sluggish. so it would be good to run disk clean uo and defrag regularly. You can read more abt it-
