Closing as much applications as possible, also defragmentating more than once will probably help. Windows cant move files when there in use

The Windows defrag doesn't manage every file...it will not defrag every file on a partition/drive.
That's one reason why there are 3d-party applications which defrag.

to add to some info - you could use a 3rd party defragger running from a LiveOS... this would defeat the fact windows cant move files its using when it is running itself...
