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.
What does it mean to defragment a hard disk? Answer: Over time, new files get written to your hard disk and old ones get deleted. When files are removed, gaps are created in the hard drive where new data can be written. Sometimes the new data doesn't quite fit in the gaps and some files get written in multiple areas on the hard disk.
