I moved all the data off of the data partition I have. No
files (other than system volume and recycle and hidden
system files) that space only accounts for less than 1
meg. Yet when I do a properties the space usage is 22
gig. What can cause that? How do I see what is taking
the space?

I have turned on "show hidden files" and "show system
files".

Hi, Steve.

Open a "DOS" window and type: dir \ /s /a

The \ makes it start in the Root directory; /s includes all subdirectories;
the /a lists ALL files, no matter what attributes (hidden, system, read-only
or archive) may or may not be set.

As with other commands in the "DOS" window, type Dir /? to see all the
switches available with the Dir command. For example, type Dir /x to see
Short File Names, in addition to the LFNs.
