    CLASS NOTES

    Class: VI Topic: DISK DEFRAGMENTER AND


    Subject: Computer Studies DISK CLEANUP

    DISK DEFRAGMENTER AND DISK CLEANUP (CHAPTER 10)


    Practice Test:1
    Answer the following questions:

    1. Explain fragmentation and defragmentation.


    Ans: Fragmentation most generally means the process of fragmenting—breaking into

    pieces or being divided into parts. It can also refer to the state or result of being broken up or

    having been divided.

    Defragmentation, also known as “defrag” or “defragging” is the process of reorganizing the

    data stored on the hard drive so that related pieces of data are put back together, all lined up in a

    continuous fashion.

    2. What is file system?

    Ans: In computing, a file system (often abbreviated to fs) controls how data is stored and

    retrieved.

    3. What is disk defragmenter?

    Ans: To defragment a disk, defragmentation software (also known as a "defragmenter") can

    only move files around within the free space available.

    4. What are temporary files?

    Ans: Temporary files (. TMP), are files created to temporarily contain information while a

    new file is being made.

    5. What is disk cleanup?

    Ans: Disk Clean-up (cleanmgr.exe) is a computer maintenance utility included in Microsoft

    Windows designed to free up disk space on a computer's hard drive.

    6. Mention the tasks that can be performed using disk cleanup.

    Ans: You can use Disk Cleanup to free up disk space by deleting temporary files and

    uninstalling programs. Disk Cleanup lists the temporary files, Internet cache files, and

    unnecessary programs that you can safely delete

    7. What are different frequencies available to schedule optimization?

    Ans: There are three frequencies available to schedule optimization -

     Daily

     Weekly

     Monthly

    8. What is the use of "Analyze Button" and "Optimize Button"?

    Ans: Use the Analyze feature to determine how fragmented your drive is first.

    If the files stored on your PC's hard drive are scattered everyone and defragmentation is

    needed, then click the Optimize button.

    1. Disk Defragmentation
    Solution:
    1. Click the Start menu or Windows button.
    2. Select Control Panel, then System and Security.
