I'm not gonna ramble on about stuff that I use, but the only Disk utility that can defragment meta-files on NTFS partition is PerfectDisk. I use it for off-line (or boot-time) defragmenting. For the usual defragmenting I use Diskeeper. It defragments 120 gig partition in no-time, unlike most of them, and believe me, I've tried most of them.

Q for all of you here:

Does anyone know of a utility that can edit/erase folders on NTFS partitions? I'm starting to get allot of bloated empty (or almost empty) folders. I'm not talking about files in those folders. I'm talking about folders themselves taking up the space.. NOT the files inside them.

Googleing for those kinds of utilities is like looking for a needle in a world of haystacks..

I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find my reality offensive.
