A thousand fragments in a 1.5GB file

[Alec S.]

'If I ran it again' implies that I had not. When I can identify a 6-hour
window in which to run Defrag again, I will.

You posted defrag reports a couple of times, indicating that either you did run it again and it was still showing the file, or you
posted the same report for some reason. It looks like it is gone, and you've said that there doesn't seem to be 1.5GB missing, so
it's fine.

An overnight Defrag and report reveals no sign of the bothersome file.

Fragmentation levels are improved (851 fragmented files on 3/10, now 386). I
must do this more often.

There you go. It does help things a lot (especially data recovery.) Also, the defrag should go a little quicker now that
you've got an extra 1.5GB of free space for it to use to temporarily move files around.
