The length of time the defragmentation takes will depend on the size of the drive, the degree to which it’s fragmented and the amount of free space it has.
Be prepared to allow it to run for several hours, if necessary.
The dialogue box will indicate when the process is complete
and give a visual representation of the now defragmented drive.
