There was a guru on the forums that explained to me that it does not
mean the files are fragmented or lost. If you want, I'll try to find
the thread and post a link. It made a lot of sense after I read it.
Basically, you haven't lost anything so there is nothing to gain.
I can't remember for sure but I think it was on the LQ forums. I think
I can find it but it may take a bit of looking. It was a while ago.
