Defragmentation takes the physical writing on the desk and puts it in
order. It moves files and rewrites the file table telling the system
where the file is located.
Disk Clean up cleans up your actual files and stem from temp files,
cache files and such.
Look at it this way.
Disk Clean up is like going through your house and picking up all the
loose stuff, and throwing out the trash/rubbish.
Defragmentation is like going through your house and figuring out a
better arrangement for everything in the house and rearranging the
whole house to make it more efficient.
I am sure there are some better technical explanations but this is
the easiest way I know how to explain it.

I was recently ask what is disk clean-up? How does it differs from
defragmentation?
