Last night I put on Defraggler and left it while I was sleeping. I wake up this morning to find that 20gb of free space has become available. I'm pretty sure defragging only moves files around so where has this space come from and should it be a cause for concern?

Could it be more efficient use of file packet size? Or maybe space that was registering as being freed up from previously deleted files? Maybe defragging your hard drive got it preggers?

Or you had 20GB of temp files it decided to clear up.

I may have. Though the thing is I ran CCleaner before so any temporary files would have been deleted. Maybe it was just slow to register. 20 gig is a lot of space to suddenly appear though. -------------------- Juni's plan to stalk me.
