Hello Kev, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Yeah, I hear you. That's why I use the free Auslogics Disk Defrag when I do a manual defrag. You might see how you like it.

New here, When i used DF it took over 5 hours (its was a new laptop) and it took some of my GB off (this was before i had to wipe out my whole laptop and reinstall everything). Is this meant to happen? I haven't used it since.

Hello Moviefan, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I do not see how Disk Defragmenter could delete anything. It just reorganizes the hard drive to get rid file fragmentation.

For a faster alternative that includes a progress graph, you can might try the free Auslogics Disk Defrag.
