Defragmentation shouldn't increase or decrease storage. It simply rearranges where files are stored to allow the CPU to access the information quicker and more efficiently. This seems strange.

It went back to normal as soon as I deleted a video the following day. Cheers for the reply though.

I did a full defrag of my hard drive last night and now the available space has dropped from 80GB to 30GB which is kind of the opposite of what I expected. Any advice?

Delete your porn.

Worst advice ever.

Wait for it..........................................................

Thats not technically true. It cant increase the physical storage available but it can, and often does, increase the storage the OS sees as available. As it rearranges the files it can free up areas of the disc that werent available before.

Thanks for going more in depth!

I guess I was more trying to point out that defrag should not in any way reduce the storage available.

Ok, so I got a nvidia shield k1. Works great but got a hdmi mini cable to hook it up to the TV. Picture comes up fine but nae sound. Settings don't seem to indicate anything. Any ideas?

Check your sound output. It might be on headphones or something equally daft.

Google Chrome isn't working for me just now although Firefox is fine. Best way I can describe is that when it launches the browser screen is dark grey, there's no toolbars at the top of the page and I get a couple of error messages at the bottom right hand saying that extensions have crashed.

I've had a look around online but haven't come up with a solution. So far I've uninstalled/reinstalled twice, ran CCleaner and restarted a couple of times too. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Personally I would just stick to using Firefox anyway.
