Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 459 discussion

n this scenario, the technician should use Disk Cleanup. Disk Cleanup is a utility in Windows that helps free up disk space on a computer's hard drive by deleting temporary files, system files, and other unnecessary files that accumulate over time. This can help improve the performance of the system by clearing out clutter and freeing up space for the operating system and applications to work more efficiently. While Disk Defragmentation can also help improve performance on HDDs by reorganizing fragmented data on the disk, it might not be as effective in this case because the issue seems to be more related to the accumulation of large files rather than fragmentation. Disk Cleanup would be the more appropriate tool for addressing this specific issue.

I will go with A (Disk Defragmentation) The frequency of defragmentation depends on how often you use your computer and how you use it. Here are some general guidelines: For regular users: Once a month For power users (those who frequently create, delete, or modify large files): Once a week For light users: Once every two to three months Found this in on of HP's articles located here: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/what-does-defragging-do?msockid=37f65ea70dac6a973b114c060c966b59

Defragmentation resamble broken files and rearrange free space into one, so i dont get why you should defrangment when no files got deletet. the user only opend, closed and saved files

It's A because they specifically mentioned "HDD", they also mention the time frame of this existing issue. Had those not been overly stated, I would've selected D.

I think this addresses the scenario better

A. Disk Defragment Disk Defragmenter is a tool designed to optimize hard disk performance by rearranging fragmented files. When many large files are opened, closed, and saved, the hard drive can become fragmented, leading to slower performance. Defragmenting the drive can help to improve performance by reorganizing the file system and making it easier for the computer to access data.

D, in older HDD the drives need to be defrag so that they don't slow down...whoever picked D is clueless

Over time, as large files are opened, closed, and saved, the data can become scattered or fragmented across the hard drive. Disk Defragmenter reorganizes these fragmented files on an HDD, improving performance by making file access faster. This is a common issue with mechanical hard drives, and defragmenting the disk will help optimize its performance.

First you cleanup, then you defrag.

Answer is A. The user has opened, closed, and saved many large files over the past week suggests that the disk has become fragmented contributing to slower performing HDD.

Disk cleanup is not the way for this question.

A. Use disk defrag to optimize the used hard drive sectors, leading to improved performance.
