I was wondering which way would be better. If you lets say are doing alot of moving things around like clean install of the os and tons of apps is it better to defrag after every install or install everything then defrag once.
The reason I am asking is because I notice sometimes when I make drastic changes like recently I uninstalled a few big apps that each was 5-15gb and reinstalled some of similar size then defragged I noticed even after the prosses I still had 15% of my drive fragmented. Now I am wondering if it is because so much was installed that its not possible to fit all the chunks together because of the already somehwat created structure because of some data that can not be moved or maybe there is another reason? Fill me in.
