Evaluating Status Reports
Based on the O&O Defrag status reports, you can document the level of fragmentation as well as the results of
defragmentation on your system. Status reports contain all important information regarding your hard disk drives.
The level of fragmentation is particularly important. It constitutes a normalized value of the fragmentation and can
be used as a comparison for different systems and for hard disks of different sizes. This value ranges from 0 (completely
defragmented) to 100% (completely fragmented). A low value of (under 5%) is recommended. You can also
use this value in jobs when defining a threshold for an automatic defragmentation.
Deleting status reports
To deletea status report, select it in the report list and use your keyboard’s delete key. If you want to delete an
entire report group, e.g. "Last month", all reports will be deleted in the specified time period.
The function Delete all, allows you to delete all reports at the same time.
