<title>Scan the file system</title>
27
<p>To find out how much space your file system takes up:</p>
31
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Scan File System</gui></guiseq>
36
<p>Your file system includes all internal and removable storage devices which
37
are mounted when the respective folder is scanned.</p>
40
<p>If the file system that you are trying to scan is large, it may take a
41
few minutes for the scan to complete.</p>
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>
47
<p>The results may be useful in deciding which folders can be
48
<link href="help:file-roller">archived</link>,
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 can
51
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 specific folders.</p>
54
<p>Right-click on any folder and select <gui>Open Folder</gui> to launch the
55
<app>Files</app> application, or <gui>Move to Trash</gui> to move your folder
56
to <file>Trash</file>.</p>
