Answer 1

Some files are unmovable and some are just too badly damaged, this is normal as long as the disk defragmentor works and completes the program! Repeat the process in a day or so. Peace!

Answer 2

grasp document table can't be moved on an identical time as defragmenting, it includes all the counsel approximately all your information and stuff and for some reason it does not get defragmented. Thats the only difficulty i will think of of why some thing isn't getting defraged.

Answer 3

There are some files that are unmovable for a handful of reasons...Some system files can't be moved, very large files can't be moved sometimes (depending on the size of your drive), and occasionally there won't even be enough free space on the drive for it to swap stuff around while defragging. More than likely they're just unmovable system files though if I had to guess.

Answer 4

this is mostly because of the fact tht the files are open and in use
so defrag only whn u have minium activity on the disk
windows defrag is not the most effective one
try the diskeeper
u might be able to get a trial version
hope this helps

Answer 5

Just do not worry about it. It's perfectly normal.
