Using Disk Defragmenter

As you use the Slate, files on the drive become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter consolidates the fragmented files and folders on the drive so that the system can run more efficiently.

NOTE: It is not necessary to run Disk Defragmenter on solid-state drives.

After you start Disk Defragmenter, it works without supervision. Depending on the size of your drive and the number of fragmented files, Disk Defragmenter may take more than an hour to complete. You may want to set it to run during the night or at another time when you do not need access to your Slate.

HP recommends defragmenting your drive at least once a month. You may set Disk Defragmenter to run on a monthly schedule, but you can defragment your Slate manually at any time.

To run Disk Defragmenter:

1.Connect the Slate to AC power.

2.Tap Start, tap All Programs, tap Accessories, tap System Tools, and then tap Disk Defragmenter.

3.Tap Defragment disk.

NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your Slate. You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more information.

For additional information, access the Disk Defragmenter software Help.

Using Disk Cleanup

Disk Cleanup searches the drive for unnecessary files that you can safely delete to free up disk space and help the Slate to run more efficiently.

To run Disk Cleanup:

1.Tap Start, tap All Programs, tap Accessories, tap System Tools, and then tap Disk Cleanup.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions.
