VPS showing low disk space despite there is nothing major on it
- by SheoNarayyan
Hello experts,
On my VPS server I was trying to see the used disk space and when I open My Computer it shows 17.9 GB free out of 39.8 GB it means that 21.9 GB space is used.
However, when I select all files and folders from C: and try to see the total size, it just count approximately 11 GB. The difference is around 10 GB. Where is this 10 GB going if I have not stored anything else here?
I asked above question from my VPS provider and he responded below
Check hidden files/system files/etc.
This is default windows OS and its
utilization and not specific to setup.
If you want specifics of usage, you
can go ahead and get in touch with
Microsoft support team and they'll
provide you with exact specification
of the same.
I am sure that Windows OS must not be taking up 10 GB space for hidden files and folders. My VPS has Windows Server 2008 R2 installed.
Can anyone help me in this on who is right?
