Quick Answer. Defrag is a shortened form of the word defragment, a process of sequencing fragmented data on a hard drive or storage device. Defragmentation allows computers and other electronic storage devices to work more efficiently in general performance, as well as in the retrieving of requested files and sites.
Defragmentation is like cleaning house for your PC, it picks up all of the pieces of data that are spread across your hard drive and puts them back together again. Why is defragmentation important? Because every computer suffers from the constant growth of fragmentation and if you donât clean house, your PC suffers. Disk fragmentation occurs when a file is broken up into pieces to fit on the disk. Because files are constantly being written, deleted and resized, fragmentation is a natural occurrence. When a file is spread out over several locations, it takes longer to read and write.
