Uninstall Windows Defrag program

by franhines May 12, 2007 3:21PM PDT

Is there any reason why I shouldn't uninstall or delete Windows Defrag program? I have installed another defrag program and would like to remove any programs no longer used, such as mentioned above.

Nothing big!

I am sure if you are not using Disk Degragment utility then it doesn't take any memory or disk space to make your system slow.

I prefer not to remove the defragment utility. It can be helpful any time.

Find and delete dfrg.msc then delete the shortcuts from your menus.

Your choice here.
