Leave the system alone. A defrag makes the movable files contiguous.
If it misses one or two, there's no harm done, except for a hint of a
slowdown when those files are accessed. How often can that happen?

Sorry, I don't understand this question at all. Exactly what do you
want to accomplish? Why?

After defragging, all (or at least most) of your files are contiguous.
The reason you defragged was to make them contiguous.
 
having contiguous files is the goal
when you have a small hard drive.

if you had a large hard drive then
having fragmented files would be
on no great consequence,

though I prefer a contiguous file
system myself.

however, because of the mechanics
of the computer, contiguous files
always become fragments again.

-----------------------

to answer the question about deleting
files,

which every files you choose to delete,
move, copy, etc will be done whether
your files are fragmented or
contiguous.

-------------------------

to be contiguous is to be unfragmented.

Not so. The larger the hard drive, the farther apart the fragments are
likely to be. And the farther apart they are, the slower access to
them will be.
 
I agree in part.

Not necessarily so.
The larger the drive the faster (usually) it spins. Also data transfer rates
are faster.
