Files on a computer?

Question

Is there any way to see all the files on my computer, and see what I have and which takes up the most space?

I want to be able to see everything all at once

Answer 1

In a cmd prompt cd to c:\, enter dir /a /s /o:-s >> files.txt This will create a file on your c:\ called files.txt with all your files and sizes. I don't know how useful this will be though.

Answer 2

Now this is easy. Double-click "My computer" in the desktop. Click once on Drive C and go to file and go down to properties. Click on properties and you will see a pie chart for how much disk space you have left. Then, go to disk clean up on the bottom and wait for it to scan. Then they will give you several things such as "temoporary internet files". You can view the files. You can also delete them to free space. I would suggest you to delete all of them because first, they are useless and second, they are temporary.

If you want to see all the programs you have installed into your computer, you can go to control panel and click add/remove programs. You can also free disk space by removing/uninstalling some items

Have fun!

Boy, are you in luck today!!

I recently found such -
Have looked at a few and I like this one -

It is a freeware, open source program that runs on all Windows versions except earliest Win 95.
It will show you stats for one drive or all.
Has a fancy "Treemap" picture of your drive space, but I find that annoying and turn it off in the Options menu, and just use the listing. Fast and good.

Called WinDirStat. There are screenshots of it and you can get it here:

Answer 4

Assuming windows is ur OS.

To see the files in drive c: all at once in the command prompt try:
>tree /F c:
Consider redirecting like this
>tree /F c:>xyz.txt
use
>edit c:\xyz.txt
to see the result (notepad is no good)

If u need to know the filesizes and file with the highest size mail me to receive a program (written by me) as an attachment in the reply. (Note: I haven't written it yet but its very simple & i can do if u need.)

Answer 5

The easiest way is to open Windows Explorer. Look under Start/all programs/accessories/windows explorer. It will give you a tree diagram on the left and display folder contents on the right. You can move files and folders from there too.

Answer 6

- Right click drive C:
- Select Search
- Type "*.*" without the quotations in the search box
- You will get a list of all files. (I think the maximum is 10,000 files).
