I want to view the properties of folders of files and the size of the files used on the right by clicking on them and the properties of the workstation to see the disk space used. __

I have trouble finding the disk space used by files and folders individually and when I try to know how much is consumed and free by right click on my computer.  This was easy in XP, but I can't get the answers I need to analyze which uses space, where and how.  What is happening with this?

Hi NativeLegal Eagle,

Usually, right-click on the file or folder and clicking the properties option will give the details of the file or folder. The details include, type, size, location, size of the file on the disc etc.

Make a right click on my computer will not give the details of available disk space on the computer.

If you want to know the amount of space consumed by a program, then it can be found in the Add/Remove Programs window.
a. Click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click ok.
b. in the list, we can find the total space used by individual program running on the computer.

Note: If nothing is listed in the file properties window or a file, then provide us with more information, so that we can better help you.

  • I want to monitor the disk space and CPU on a windows - DONT see machine

    I want to check the disk space and CPU on windows server 2003 box - DON'T see pltform for windows box all 'fileserver mount' or 'CPU '.  I do not see these services
    for my UNIX/LINUX platforms. What controls what in health platform services, and WHY doesn't show the windows platform the platform services. I have Server 3.02
    talk to the windows client running 3.02 box. I just reinstalled the client on windows
    box and still the same. Nothing in the health platformservices). I restart the HQ server and its
    client also. NOT knowing how to manage the windows box. I can go in manually and add an assembly file server service and name it and then this name appears in the services of the platform
    health. I shouldn't this for CPU, NetworkServer or mount fileserver interface. ???  I talked to John Mark Walker and is well why this is happening?

    I'm not an expert but I have encountered this problem also.  That's why I think it happened to me.

    1. I installed the server and checked it was running and I was able to connect to Headquarters.
    2. I installed my agent on another box and as soon as he said it started successfully killed him so that I could go ahead with the installation of the agent as a service.
    3. I installed the agent as a service and started it.
    4. this particular agent in central administration did not show one of the hard disks or WIN32.

    I fixed it by deleting the agent and put it back.  After you start the agent for the first time and it communicates with the server let it run for a while before you kill to install as a service.

    1. stop the service of the agent on the windows machine
    2. open your command line, change to your agents directory and run hq-agent you to uninstall as service
    3 remove the data of your agent directory folder
    4. use the download of SERVER installation to install your agent
    a. by running setup.bat - full (option 3 for the installation of the agent)
    5 finish the installation of the agent so that your window says 'agent started successfully.
    6. DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW
    7. connect to your HQ and accept your inventory of auto-discovery, access this resource, and you should see that it is only partially completed
    8. Refresh every few minutes and you should see all the icons of availability to change green checks and your additional question as disks and CPU added.
    9. once filled close your agent, install it as a service, and then start it again.

    I was killing my initial discovery officer before he could finish, looks like you have the same symptoms.

  • What is the key of registry or files to change the option of the disk space to files offline in windows xp and 8

    Hello

    will someone please solve my problem which is the key to registry or files will effect when we change the amount of disk space used to store in the offline files option when we go to control pane--> sync--> manageofflinefiles 8 victory while this option is not in the options of folders in Windows XP

    Hello

    Thanks for asking!

    If I understand correctly, you want that registry key is responsible for the amount of storage on the disk space for offline files.

    I suggest you to visit these links and check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/manage-disk-space-for-offline-files  (Applicable for Windows Xp)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/904676?WA=wsignin1.0

    For the registry key, see this.

    It describes the registry key that defines the value for an amount of
    storage for use offline files:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache

    To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space

    Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.

    The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.

    I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space?  Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.

    I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.

    Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?

    All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?

    This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.

    Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.

    Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.

    If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).

    Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.

    Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.

    Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?

    No sign of a virus.

    Hello

    Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

    I suggest to refer to the article and try to defragment the hard disk:

    Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive

    I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Hello

    I want to reduce my use of little brothers and sisters of the internet which takes a lot of space on my disk cuz I want to share my system with them very quickly.

  • How can I recover the disk space on esx

    yesterday, I removed two my esxi machine vm - I remove disk thinkng it could free up space disc instead of 'delete inventory '.

    my box of esx has about 334 GB in its datastore1

    I don't have a virtual machine in esx box and that vm's only 143 GB on its two disks, however my datastore1 only show it is has about 80 b of space left.

    1. I did something wrong is eliminating the VM boxes that do not free until their allotted disk space?

    2. How can I recover the disk space I know is free so that I can port on another machine on esx box?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Calculate the disk space required for the INDEX

    Hello

    How to calculate the disk space required to create an INDEX? Please tell me where I can get the details of resources.

    For example:
    I need to create a non-UNIQUE INDEX on the columns, an approximate size would do.

    < PRE >
    NOT NULL DATE EVENT_DATE
    APPT_DATE_SLOT VARCHAR2 (15)
    EVENT_STATUS VARCHAR2 (4)
    < / PRE >

    The table has some 7 300 000 rows. I would like to know how to calculate too.

    All AIDS are very much appreciated.

    A rough estimate of the index space will need is possible by

    adding the actual length expected from each column, plus 6 for the rowid, 2 for the number of the X-header of the rows in the table that will be so an entry

    Date are 7 bytes internal + 15 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 34 X 7.3 M = 248200000 X General fresh for the block header, initrans, etc...

    We will use 20% overhead block or 1.2 X 248200000 = 297840000, which is about 285 M

    The actual distribution will vary according to your method of range tablespace.

    I'm not sure that understand your problem.  The 67.6 GB you have available is about 600 times more than the MB 166 who tell you that you need.  You should have absolutely no problem.  You have no problem, or I do not understand your question.

  • WHERE IS THE DISK SPACE?

    WHERE IS THE DISK SPACE?

    After the transfer of about a third of my HD 10 Gig by cut and paste, my new external HD 1 terabyte NO SPACE WAS not PERFORMED on my old C:\ drive. He showed only 120 MB of space available on C:\ and none of the file names are not anywhere. The new HD E:\external lists ALL files and showed that about 3-GB had been transferred. Why can't I just clean the old C:\ HD? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Starejad

    Apple suggested to replace the Internet Explorer browser with another and I had Firefox installed, available and repeated downloading and installing successfully. Automatic Updates/downloads have reduced my 10 GB of available disk space 500 MB. I replaced the original 10 GB HD with a new 80 GB drive and additional 128 MB of RAM. Which, as well as my external hard drive 1 TB should hold me until I can afford to replace this 10 year old system. Thank you all for your constructive comments!

  • ESXi 5 - increase the disk space

    Hello


    Info:

    Size of the disk hard server: 4 TB

    What are the limits on the increase in size of virtual machine disk space Windows Server? For example, if C: win2k8 is 80 GB, can I increase to say a maximum of 4000 GB (eg. only 1 VM on the host)?

    I get a new server and I would like to give the VMs small readers and increase disk space needed in the future, if necessary. How will I know how much space the augmentable drive by?

    If I start with young readers, does this mean that I won't be able to increase the disk space, as well as virtual machines with more readers?

    Thank you

    Sorry, my bad. The size of the virtual disk does not depend on the HW version, it's just 5.5 ESXi and VMFS5.

    In any case, some words of clarification:

    • You can create virtual disks with up to 16 TB, in c# Client
    • Large virtual disks > 2 TB-512Bytes (with up to 62 to 64 to no) are not officially supported in c# Client, even if this can work for drives <=16TB (see=""> vSphere 5.5 storage improvements part 1: 62 TB VMDK)
    • Note: You cannot manage VMs with HW version 10 in the c# Client.

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.
