No.
When your file system can't lay out its data in sequence. This helps the harddrive with seek times.

It does free up some space, though.

I reccomend doing it periodically with piriform's defraggler.

Did you read my post?
This isn't reformating. Its defragging. Did you notice how those two words are different? AMGGGG. It isn't going to be deleting any files.

Go get CCleaner.

defragmenting organizes files together
like parts of different files are written on different places on your disk, so it puts them together.
