Windows 10: My C/Boot Drive does not show up on defragment drives

Hi, recently I've been noticing that whenever I start my computer, it always does an automatic disk checking. Everything works as normal but when I went to defragment my drives, my C drive does not show up on there however it does show up on file explorer and I can still access everything on the drive. Is there any way to fix this?

    To fix any logical file errors:
    
    • 
      Chkdsk C: /f /r
      
      
  • 
    To defrag your Drive C manually:
    
    • 
      Defrag C: /D /U
      

Update us on how it goes.

defragment an external drive.

I have a drive that lists as a portable drive in computer management. It does not show up on list when I try to defrag it. I believe it is because it's listed as a portable device. How can I get it to defrag without losing all the data on the drive?

 

Defragment C Drive

Defragging a drive that is almost full will do no good whatsoever. You must remove something. Likely big things.

If you have a partitioned drive (big mistake), backup everything on the 2nd partition. Delete everything in that partition. Extend the C partition.

If you just don't have the space and you really need it, replace the drive. it is not that expensive and although it takes a lot of time to do the re-install, it will result in a vastly improved computer. Follow the step by step you will find here:
