Hi all,

i have a server running 2003/sp2 and is running out of space on the OS disk.
In the properties of the Windows folder it show that there 27GB in inside
but if i go in, select all file and folders it show me only 4.4GB... so i
miss around 23GB. The option to show hidden files and folder is checked....

Thanks for your help!
Cris

Re: "windows" folder too big...

On both Properties screens, it will show the number of files and folders.
Is it the same for the Windows folder as it is for sub-folders & files?
If it isn't; do you have "Hide protected Operating System files" checked?
Uncheck that and I bet they'll both be the same.
