Why do I defragemented files after I defraged

After I defrag I still have fragmented files later

There are several reasons that files can remain fragmented.  One is that there is no contiguous space on the drive that is large enough to hold the entire file.  Another is that the file can be used at the same time you are defragmenting.  There of nothing wrong with a sparse file, but if you want to pin a file or two that you want to really be defragmented, try using the command line utility free "contig" on the microsoft website:

    Why should I defrag my computer every 2 or 3 days

    If you do not have your files, but you don't have to become progressively more fragmented. If you defragment every 2 or 3 days or less often, it is up to you to judge.

    However, the defragmentation is only a certain number of tasks which serves the best performed on a Windows XP computer after Outlook Express compacting and deleting unwanted temporary files of routine. Have a fixed maximum = minimum pagefile will reduce the rate of fragmentation.

  • Why do I see. jpg.swp files after importing the photos?

    Filling of additional files with my hard drive. JPG.swp files after I import photos from a camera or memory card.

    What is?

    Why this happens for some files but not others?

    What can I do to stop what is happening?

    My guess:

    * you have auto-save XMP and Lightroom think he should save XMP, but has a problem doing so, and eventually leave the remains of jpg.swp instead...

    In any case the problem is caused by the inability to re - write the files jpg, which usually occurs only (not scheduled) during the recording of metadata.

    For the workaround for now:

    * turn auto-radier XMP, and/or

    * without saving the jpeg metadata.

    Long term solution:

    * Adobe must obtain their ship handling all of the metadata of jpeg, and if I hadn't my way, an option to re - write the original files and metadata for all types of files and virtual copies as xmp sidecars.

    In my opinion, if jpeg (or other metadata) cannot be saved correctly, the user must be notified, a repair option should be re - write jpeg with the new block of metadata includes all metadata salvagable.

  • I can't save my PDF files. When I hit Save as an empty window appears instead of a menu of files or folders Windows Explorer view. I'm a Publisher and save files under new names of files after changing them. Why can't I just save these files in Adobe DC (

    I run Acrobat Professional so that I can change/brand place/comment in the PDF files. At one point recently I noticed "Acrobat Reader DC" in the name of the file at the top of the page. I do not have ask this or do anything to get there that I was aware of this. I adjusted for the new look of the screen and edited several files without incident. But yesterday, I opened a large file which had been addressed to me in Dropbox. When I downloaded and opened it and tried to change it, the selection tool was not aligned properly, so the selected areas were elsewhere on the page, where the cursor was. I restarted my computer and was able to change the file more or less normally (I noticed more little glitches with this CD player but I can live with them). But when tried to save the file with a new file name, like I always do to differentiate files that changed since the original files, the save window is empty. There is no option to save the file with a new file name. In fact. There is no option to save the file with the changes! I thought maybe it was a problem with this file only, but when I tried to edit a file provided by regular e-mail, I met the same problem trying to save to a new file name. What is the relationship between my old Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Reader DC? Why can't save files normally? I managed to save the changes I did by saving it in the cloud to Adobe (I had to then because I could not send the file by e-mail because of its size - I tried to send it to me)., but I'd rather widely navigate in Windows Explorer to work with files. I suspect that there is some simple aspects about what I am simply absent or do not know. Can anyone help?

  • Removal of WAV files after you create AAC version in iTunes

    I recently deleted about 5 GB of iTunes WAV files after their conversion to AAC files. I chose to "move to trash" and then empty the trash. When I rebooted my computer, there is about 5 GB of free storage added to my HD but not the Audio storage, which has not changed. I forgot to check the free space came as I thought it would be audio.

    I tried manually deleted WAV files and they do not appear on my HD, only new AAC versions I created. I'm curious to know why the Audio storage did not change at all, even if the files are audio files and seem to have been properly removed from my HD. I wonder if they were not stored somewhere else and if so I want to make sure that they have been deleted. What worries me is that my iTunes library is 94 Go yet my Audio storage is 126 GB. I understand Garageband, etc. takes place, but the gap seems to be excessive. Please help/explain whether you have any ideas!

    Much appreciated!

    You'd better ask about the way in which the information system is referred to in the forum system for your computer. If it were me, I'd be just glad if you removed 5 GB of files 5 GB have been released.  If you want more details, try a specific tool like OmniDiskSweeper: https://www.omnigroup.com/more/

    Please make sure that you review the correct alerts log by using the following query:

    If this is the right place, then perhaps there is no activity that should be recorded in the log of alert since August 31.

    You can manually print something for journal alerts to check this using:

    Alternatively, you can manually run the command of journal and see if new lines are written to the log of alerts using the following command:

  • Is there a reason to save the original NEF files after import for the LR in the form of files 'convert to DNG?  Is there a reason to save the two versions?  The NAVE seems to have no further use other than too much hard drive space.

    I see no reason to keep them, they take a lot of space, one of the reasons to convert to DNG is that they are almost 20% smaller than the ships.

    Hi larrys57575985,

    To change a file that you converted to Word format, you will need to download it first and then open it in Word. To download your file, sign in to your account on https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file you want to download and click download at the top of the list of files. Your file will be downloaded in the download on your computer folder. In Word, you may need to click Activate the change at the top of the document.

  • Add a temporary file after failover

    Hello
    We have a configuration of Guard (10g 2 node windows 2003 RAC ASM, r2 server) data. After failover to the backup system and run some queries, I discovered the following messages in the alert log:
    ATTENTION: The following temporary tablespaces do not contain any file.
    This condition can occur when a backup controlfile
    been restored. It may be necessary to add files to these
    storage spaces. This can be done using the SQL statement:

    ALTER TABLESPACE < nom_tablespace > ADD TEMPFILE

    Then I issue the following command
    alter tablespace temp_ts add tempfile '+ DATA' size 100M;

    I have a few questions about this behavior:
    (1) in my old primary school, it has the temporary file. Why there is no temporary file after failover?
    (2) passage to the require also add tempfile? As we use ASM, we add a temporary file for each passage?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    (1) in my old primary school, it has the temporary file. Why there is no temporary file after failover?

    TempFiles must always be added whenever the controlfile is recreated. That's why they are temporary, they can be dropped and re-created at any time. Consistency of databases has no dependencies on temp. When the configuration of data protection has been initially implemented, he need to instantiating a standby and had to be done through backup. I clone data bases often and I often forget to add the tempfiles after creating a clone. This happened during the day before was originally instantiated, any tempfiles have been added. You switched to the night before and realized that there is no tempfiles.

    (2) passage to the require also add tempfile? As we use ASM, we add a temporary file for each passage?

    Passage to the should not require to add tempfiles, because the controlfiles are not re-created. Check the data dictionary by selecting the name from v$ tempfile, if she comes back with no line, the database currently has no temporary file.
