<desc>Scan a local folder, including all subfolders.</desc>
</info>
<title>Scan a folder</title>
<p>Scans of individual folders are faster than those of the whole file
system, so they may be more efficient if you want information only about a
specific part of your file system.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Scan Folder…</gui></guiseq>
from the menu</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Use the file browser to navigate around your file system and select
the desired folder</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Open</gui> to commence scanning</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Stop</gui></guiseq> to cancel the
current scan, or <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Refresh</gui></guiseq> to
repeat the last scan.</p>
</note>
<p>The results may be useful in deciding which folders can be
<link href="ghelp:file-roller">archived</link>,
<link href="help:gnome-help/files-delete">deleted</link> or
<link href="help:gnome-help/files-copy">moved</link> to free up space. You can
also use the results to estimate how much space would be needed for a
<link href="help:gnome-help/backup-how">backup</link> of specific folders.</p>
<p>Right-click on any folder and select <gui>Open Folder</gui> to launch the
<app>Files</app> application, or <gui>Move to Trash</gui> to move your folder
to <file>Trash</file>.</p>
