SSDs don't need defragmenting. Optimisation is automatic.

Hey there, TheHitMan-1973.

Just as @KIA has mentioned, you should never defragment an SSD (or run Full Format). I just wanted to add that you should check if TRIM is enabled. This is an OS service, which deletes residual data left on the SSDs memory blocks in order for it to be able to run at its optimum performance throughout its entire life. This should be enabled by default for Win 10.

Hope that helps.
