File defrag?

Can you defrag files in the MyDocuments folder on a 4700?

Why would you need to? You can’t put enough data in ram to cause any perceived decrease or increase data access speed.

It may not be the amount of data, but the amount of fragmentation that is causing the problem. There is a noticable decrease in access speed over time. Currently I delete the data file every few weeks and install a new clean file to restore access speed. This works well, but takes time. What I was looking for is a way to either do some type of file defrag or perhaps a compaction. I am working with a Pocket Access data file that either gets fragmented or develops excess slat in the file as items are added then deleted in the file.

Why not copy the files over to your PC…delete the files on your iPAQ, then recopy back to your PC. They will not be fragged then.
