C: won't defragment

After analyzing the disk,(2000 Server, C: 2.5 GB) almost the entire volume
is displayed in red. I am new to the company and the Server has been
neglected for a long time. At first there was only about 11% free space so I
deleted some old .tmp and .log files from a few years back and moved some
other programs that weren't being used and freed up to 25%. But after
performing the defrag, it says it's complete but still displayed completely
in red. So I analyze again and it recommends to defrag. I have used chkdsk
with different switches and after a reboot only 11% displayed again free
space.

Try a defrag from safe mode or use a third-party product
to do background defragmentation.
