What we do not know is that, internally, these objects are made up of small fragments which are directly managed by the operating system. This allows the element to be opened, but in the way that the hard disk continues writing and deleting Windows 10 files , these do not always organize as expected and are scattered on the disk causing unnecessary occupation of space, this is known as fragmentation. and it causes the hard drive to take longer than expected to read and write..
To prevent this, Windows 10 integrates a functionality called Disk Defragmenter which has the task of reorganizing these sectors of the hard disk and thus allowing the access, read and write actions to be as fast as possible, being aware that the characteristics of the disk are keys to it and that is why it is important to open defragment and use it.
