Beat the System Solve a Dilemma

I have created new files, downloaded video clips, and have deleted many files off of my USB drive. Recently, I have noticed that it is taking a bit longer to open some files. The solution, defrag the drive? However, defragging an 8GB drive takes more time than I seem to have right now.

defrag

I came up with a solution. I copied my files to a folder on my desktop, formatted my drive, and copied the files back. No need to defrag now.
