Windows 10: Partition Optimization

I have 2 partitions 1 of which is for the OS. This one is stuck at 4% fragmented and when I try to optimize it analyzer's it but doesn't go any further. Is this normal and if not what can I do to get it to optimize?

Disk/partition optimization problems

Hello,

Having problems with optimizing a disk/partition on my pc. I have C, D, E, F and Q(reserved for windows stuff looks like) partitions on my pc. All partitions defrag properly except D. Windows reports the disk to be 18% fragmented, thus needing optimization.
I've done:

• 'Analyze' followed by 'Optimization'. It goes through two passes and then quits. Again Windows reports 18% fragmentation.
  
• Performed 'check' the disk. No errors found. Restarted pc. 'Analyze' followed by 'Optimization'. Two passes and then quits. Again Windows reports 18% fragmentation.
  
• Performed a clean boot. Re-launched the 'Optimization'. Once again two passes and then quits. Again Windows reports 18% fragmentation.

Any idea or solution to the problem?

Thank you for your input.

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
