By defragmenting the computer, these files are rearranged and stored more efficiently, allowing for quicker access and improved performance.

Personal information, such as addresses, phone numbers, or financial details, should not be shared on social networking sites as it can be accessed by a large number of people, increasing the risk of privacy breaches and identity theft. It is important to be cautious and mindful of the information shared on social networking platforms to protect personal privacy and security.
