Defragment doesn't work - HELP!

[Guest]

The PC is slow the disk is full - so I clean up the drive: there is now 41%,
31 GB, frees pace

When I defragment my Drive C it remains a lot of red (fragmented files) and
white strips in the graphic, but a litle less than before
and the Report says: "total fragmented = 16 %, file fragmented = 32% - !!

I let run the Analysis again: same stripes and the advise: "you have to
defragment..." - directly after a defrag routine

I do so – it works and works and… does nothing: same stripes, same %...


What is the problem?! What can I do?

Thanks for help

It may take several defrag passes to sort the drive out, especially if it
was heavily fragmented.
You could purchase a more comprehensive defrag tool like Diskeeper - there
are others as well.

did you do any disk cleanup before the defrag.

you should delete the IE files, save cookies if you want.
use event viewer and clear the logs.
run disk cleanup and check all the options including the extra ones for removing all but latest restore point.
then try the defrag again.

personally I like Auslogics disk defrag instead of the xp built in one.
faster and lots of little boxes moving around.

Try defragging it again in Safe Mode, using the default Administrator
account.
