Answer:

Defragging

Step-by-step explanation:

Defragging is also known as de-fragmenting. This process reorganizes "fragmented" files so that the corresponding files match up, causing gaps in the data to be filled and information put back together. This action erases gaps in a hard drive by organizing and combining everything properly.
