Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 329 discussion

Disk cleanup is used to free up space, defragmentation improves performance.

Answer is defragment because if there is free space then you dont need to use Disk Cleanup, you need to defragment.

Disk defragmentation – Moves file fragments so they are contiguous – Improves read and writing time

Hdd already has some space.

C. Disk Cleanup Disk Cleanup helps to free up disk space on the hard drive by removing unnecessary files such as temporary files, system files, and recycle bin contents. By running Disk Cleanup, the technician can potentially improve the performance of the PC by clearing out unnecessary files that may be causing the slowdown. Disk Defragmentation (option B) is useful for optimizing the layout of files on the disk, but it may not directly address the issue of slow loading programs and files if the primary concern is disk space rather than fragmentation. Disk Management (option A) and Device Manager (option D) are not directly related to disk cleanup or optimizing disk performance. Disk Management is used for partitioning and formatting disks, while Device Manager is used for managing hardware devices.

B. No need for disk clean up if there is adequate free space.

The question say what do you do "first". Disk Cleanup comes before Disk defragment. So I am going with C

B is correct

It’s hard disk drive so it has to be defragmented.

B is correct, disk has free space but needs to be defragmented in order to optimize its segments.
