<title>Scan your <file>Home</file> folder</title>
28
<p>The <file>Home</file> folder is where most files are located for the
29
average user because default settings are often set to save or copy files
30
into subdirectories within it. This includes downloads from the internet,
31
documents which you work on and photos from your camera. Normally, one
32
<file>Home</file> folder exists for each user on the computer.</p>
36
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Scan Home Folder</gui></guiseq>
42
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Stop</gui></guiseq> to cancel the
43
current scan, or <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Refresh</gui></guiseq> to
44
repeat the last scan.</p>

<p>The results may be useful in deciding which folders can be

49
<link href="help:gnome-help/files-delete">deleted</link> or
50
<link href="help:gnome-help/files-copy">moved</link> to free up space. You
51
can also use the results to estimate how much space would be needed for a
52
<link href="help:gnome-help/backup-how">backup</link> of your
53
<file>Home</file> folder.</p>
55
<p>Right-click on any folder and select <gui>Open Folder</gui> to launch the
56
<app>Files</app> application, or <gui>Move to Trash</gui> to move your folder
57
to <file>Trash</file>.</p>

<p>The default subdirectories usually include <file>Desktop</file>,

<file>Documents</file>, <file>Downloads</file>, <file>Pictures</file> and
