Q:

So I’m de-fragmenting my Hard drive. And the biggest load of fragments is Guild Wars 2, the main data file to be specific. But whenever I try to defrag it, it reaches about 30% but then defraggler says “Defrag aborted. No files were defragmented. The operation cannot be done”.

Er…help?

Huh….it’s actually the same for several of my games. Get around 30% then suddenly it just aborts itself.

Do you even have enough free space to defrag?

Plenty, at least 200GB.

You might have to take ownership of the .exe or the entire game folder in order to do it.

Try using a diff defrag tool like defraggler
