After i ran the windows defrag there is still red colored parts left which means defragmented files i was under the impression that a defrag has ran there should be no defragmented files or programs

You will never get absolutely no red sections in the display but, if you still have large red sections, then the defrag hasn't been completely successful.

You could try running Windows defrag in safe mode.

Alternatively, I've been using a small program called "JKdefrag" of which has a "few very nice features" and is also simple to use.
(Basically, you can defrag and sort by various options, Move to end of disc, plus a few more option)
Move to end of disc is a very useful feature, because it allows you to move your files away from the beginning of the drive, thus allowing you to allocate or re-allocate virtual memory, which is then put at the beginning of the drive.
Not to mention you can see what's actually happening, unlike Windows defrag.

Although I have just discovered the new version it's now called MyDefrag.
