hi. when i run defrag in safe mode (xp) i appear to have cleaned up all the
red fragmented files, and i have around 28% free space, but if i go back to
normal mode i have about 7%, and a whole big block of red files. 7% isnt
enough to defrag. i have tried only running SOME things , via msconfig, to
get the percentage up to the desired 15% which will give defrag the space it
needs, but no joy. how can i clear these "hidden" red files??
 
No way, you can't. You need a bigger harddrive or delete a lot of files.
Best thing for you to do is to buy an external (USB) harddrive and transfer
personal documents, photos and music to it. Then delete the files so you
can defrag.
