I'm defragging my computer right now. Is this normal/good?

[Feels Good Man]

So i'm defragging and on that display to show you how the defrag is going, a bunch of the blocks seems to be scattered around the place rather than being close. Is this normal/good? Isn't defragging supposed to move all them closer together and not wider apart?

Thanks

And here's a pic of my defrag display thing:

Hmm... is this during or after the defragging?

During and after

I use a freeware called MyDefrag to defragment. It optimizes by moving all your files sequentially to the front of the disk, starting with system files (for fast boot), so you don't get a bunch of "scattered blocks."

I'm using auslogics defrag and it does the same.

I just don't know why it wont move the files >__

Weird though, I don't get blocks. My defrag is like barcodes. But I think green represents unmovable files. Which isn't that bad since most are system files. Looks fine to me. And defrag doesn't make the files move closer, just rearranges files around the computer to the best the computer can do.
