Robocopy was being used to copies files from C: of the old system to a general area on partially used drive on a new system.

Source: 351 GB used

Destination: 1.15 TB Free Space

Robocopy command. It was run as Administrator.

robocopy L:\ s:\w7_c\ /mir /r:0 /w:0 /a-:sh


After 3:24:39 the destination drive was full


53.713 gb failed to copy.



Destination drive:

Used space 1.81 TB

Free Space 0 bytes

How does the destination drive with 3 times as much space as the source drive data run out of space?

After the folder containing the copied files was deleted, the destination drive had the original free space.

Thank you.
