Bigger than the content documents folder

My Documents folder shows that it contains 10 GB of data, but when I select all content (files and folders), I go out only 0.5 GB (I do not use this file, this is why it must not contain a lot). I put that it must show hidden files, too, but he has not shown any additional things. How is this? I use SSD, so this difference is crucial for me.

All the already compressed files? In Windows Explorer, the compressed files are normally displayed in blue. You may also right-click on the file and select Properties. On the general tab, you will see the dimensions that match what is listed in the Discover Windows Explorer detail and size on disk, i.e. after the file has been compressed.

During the reconciliation of disk space in Windows Explorer, you may experience a number of problems. File compression is a. The System Volume Information folder is another that she, she does not display the disk space used by the content of the folder, which can be considerable. You can also meet with a number of programs that hide the folders / files, which are not revealed when 'Show hidden files' is selected. Norton has adopted this procedure with Norton Protected Storage, and others followed.

To study disk space, use download and install Treesize (freeware).

    Hello

    We have ThinApped WinZip 14.0 Pro version. However when we try to use WinZip to compress files in my documents, he sees nothing in the My Documents folder, but there are files and folders in My Documents. We tried to use ThinApp 4.7 to ThinApp WinZip, however we still have the same question. Can someone contact me please on how we can solve this problem.

    I enclose the file pacakage.ini for your reference and a screenshot of which Document My empty using WinZip. In addition, we have redirected My Documents folder on a network share. Even the favorite folder did the same thing. The isolation on the personal record mode does not work. The same thing with all of our applications.

    However if we do not re - direct folders My Documents, then the virtual Winzip can see the content of My Documents. We would be very grateful if someone can get back to us as soon as possible to solve the problem. We tried the same thing with ThinApp 4.6.0 and 4.6.1, it works very well. The issue remains with ThinApp 4.6.2 and 4.7.

    I would like to know if anyone has need of more information.

  • Kill the "My Documents" folder in Windows Explorer for XP

    Whenever I have called Windows Explorer in my copy of XP and then click on 'Files', the 'My Documents' folder is displayed.
    Except that I do not use it and don't want it.
    I tried in vain to get rid of him, but when I right click on it and press DELETE, it tells me that the content will not be deleted, only the icon, which would be nice.  But it's that - the icon remains.

    You can't delete My Documents. This is a directory on the system. If you want Explorer to open up My Documents, you can change the shortcut to Explorer as follows:

    Go to programs > Accessories - right click on the Windows Explorer icon, select properties and type or copy / paste the following text in the target box:

    % systemroot%\EXPLORER. EXE/e, c:

    This will open the Explorer to C:\. You can also create a desktop for Windows Explorer with the same command icon. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I specify the "My Documents" folder under the directory sync for "Creative Cloud Files?

    I know how to move the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory in preferences, but when I do that, it simply moves the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory in the 'My Documents' folder. I don't think that you can set a specific folder in a folder 'sync' in the preferences. Create a symbolic link to the contents of "My Documents" in the 'Creative Cloud Files' directory would work to activate the content of 'My Documents' to sync with the cloud? Breast of Windows 8 BTW, that's...

    CrisJM, no, that won't work. You must move the files in that particular folder of creative cloud itself. The only customizable option is that you can change the location of the CC folder (the one you already indicated above).

  • A .plist file appeared in the My Documents folder

    A few days now, a file named "purchaserecordexpirenotifications - qlm.plist" appeared in the My Documents folder.

    I can't understand why, or that either the app created that.

    It is probably created by the so-called "Quick License Manager" (developer name "Soraco"), installed by a third-party app, but I can't tell you that one.

  • Win XP: Remove the 'System' of the 'My Documents' folder attribute

    Win XP: The 'My Documents' folder contains an attribute of the system. Now, I can't save file there. How can I remove the attribute "system"?

    If you look at the security for 'My Documents' tab, you will see that the system has access to the file, but it should not have attribute on the file system.

    Access special permissions and see who is the owner of the folder. It should be yourself. If this isn't the case, you may need to take ownership of the folder to get access.

    I hope this helps.

  • When I download compressed files, they go to the local > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local > temp location and delete the zip file?

    When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

    Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

    In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

  • Dropbox and Windows 7 - the 'My Documents' folder location

    Is there a risk of changing the location of the "My Documents" folder either in Dropbox, so that all files are synchronized automatically?  This would avoid having to always drag files and remember what has been dragged and implemented to date.

    Dropbox seems to be a good tool to keep all the files synchronized on multiple platforms and devices, and it's a suggestion in an article.  It have a negative impact in Windows or damage the organizational structure of the file?

    As long as you use the button "Move" of Windows 7 in the properties of My Documents, that you will do whatever it is that Windows is not set up to do.  The "Move" button is discussed in the following article in Lifehacker, but 'RichR' post in forum Dropbox gives a description of the overall process with some advice on places where to set up your Dropbox folder before moving my Documents inside.  There are a number of other ways to accomplish the same thing but the do this as described above seems to be the simplest and also one that makes what Windows was already intended to do via the function "move".

  • The target of the My Documents folder redirection

    Dear users,
    I did as I found for redirecting my documents to a different location on my 'C' drive and something strange happened (Windows 7 Home Premium)
    Went to Users\YourLoginName\Documents, properties, location, travel tab and chose him a folder target "Esteban" that I had created before.
    Now the weird stuff, the folder 'Esteban' was replaced by 'my documents' in the new location and is not visible.
    Basically, what makes Windows 7 is not only point to the new folder but replace it.
    This behavior, that I didn't see in WIN XP in which the record would remain even if my documents has done for her.
    I tried to go back and redo everything. I restored the default location of the folder my documents and now I noticed that the new folder which has been
    created before 'C' is always there and now she can not be cleared to return to zero.
    I'd appreciate your feedback.

    Hi ameneses

    Method 1: expand the library folder and click Properties in the "My Documents" folder

    from here you can see the location tab and change its location.

    Method 2: click here

    Start-> type C:\Users\*Your username *-> right click on my documents and

    Go to the properties-> click on the location tab and make the necessary changes.

    If this fails also try manually using regedit in the following locations:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER folders

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders322756

  • Windows 7: I would like to print a list of files and corresponding subfolders in the My Documents folder. Is this possible?

    It's time to clean up and reorganize the My Documents folder. I think I can have subfolders duplicate in my main files listed in the Documents. I would like to print a list to find and delete these folders.

    Any suggestion is appreciated!

    Thank you

    It is a forum for Windows 7 with tips on Windows 7.

    Windows XP is different, these instructions will not apply.

    You can open a command prompt in Windows XP, then use the CD controls to get the folder you want.

    If you have installed the Windows XP command window open herePowerToy* then this can happen more quickly - to aid that allows to simply right-click on any folder & open a command already defined for this folder.

    * There was also formerly a very convenient Explore of PowerToy here but that is no longer available from MS - you will find perhaps at cnet or another download site.

    There is also a Windows XP forum.
