    If I did like 50 defrags in a row, would it make my files any more organized on the hard drive.

    I realize the benefit would be minimal, but would there be any benefit?

    The only way to keep your harddrive organized is to locate your "delete" key, and use it often. There would be no benefit to running 50 defrags in a row. After the second one, you would probably have no activity anyway.

    Running it once a week for a while would probably help though. The defrag app tries to arrange the drive contents to give you quick access to some system resources and after that tries to optimize access to apps/features that you use most often and to compress things you rarely/never use.
