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.

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

needed, then click the Optimize button.
