<desc>Scan all internal and removable storage devices.</desc>

<title>Scan the file system</title>
<p>To find out how much space your file system takes up:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Scan File System</gui></guiseq>
from the menu</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>Your file system includes all internal and removable storage devices which
are mounted when the respective folder is scanned.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>If the file system that you are trying to scan is large, it may take a
few minutes for the scan to complete.</p>
<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="help: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>
