Fragmentation in computer refers to the way in which the spaces in the hard disk of a computer are cleared.

These spaces are generally not used anymore and are considered as wastage.

The process of compression includes the bringing together of the data in the disk space to create more vacant space.

In fragmentation, space is created by breaking down data, and in compression, space is created by packing data.
