How many files have you........

raheny red

got saved on your computer. I am just wondering how many files and folders you've got saved! I just did a search and I was told I have 135720 files and folders saved on the computer. Is this really high or what, or is it the norm

To do a search go to -> Start -> Sreach -> All files and folders.

Actually it'd be interesting to see the number of files after a fresh install of windows home/pro, various linux distos etc. I dont know why though, bored I guess

, but I'd imagine that includes all my mounted directories aswell, including windows and my music server.

On my windows drive which includes games is 60815.
Same again but including hidden files is 93332

Far too many, think I'll go delete a few. Starting with you, mr.windows/system folder.

CyberGhost

Is this a new way to measure your internet penis size?

Giblet

No, because mine are all source files for various things, so it just makes me a big nerd.

Explosive_Cornflake

Having more file is probably a bad thing anyway. It's just one of those curiosity threads, not a bragging rights thread.

CyberGhost

lol, k, I have 54,425 file on my installation folder.

SeanW

Have 2 hard drives and about 4 partitions.

I crashed my system trying to find out but I think it's in the hundreds of thousands.

122,835 using the search from explorer method.

Cheers folks I was just wondering as I thought mine was really high!

Mutant_Fruit

Only 89,000 on my 40gig harddrive I feel so insignificant.

Lump

Only 65,972 across 600 Gigs, I regularly clean out my system, so it doesn't get full of junk.

Webmonkey

(Thanks to the cornflake for that command. Didn't think wc would take piped input. That's my new thing for today.)

Seems mine is in the high end. I'm (somewhat) surprised.

Average file size for you is 12.5MB. That's a lot of porn.

I have 90650 .. which is a bit shocking considering the pc is only about 2 weeks old

L31mr0d

297,578 files, :eek: on a 500GB RAID

I've had drives actually die on me before because the MFT has gotten so fragmented due to the sheer bulk of files on my drive, which is why I always increasethe size of it when I do a fresh install, I think XP only makes allowance for 50,000 files, after that the MFT starts getting fragmented. But its probably due to MATLAB, AutoCAD, Visual Studio, Photoshop Suite and the 20+ games I have installed.

As a side, when you are clearing out redundany files off your drive, what folders and files are ok to delete. I know about the $NTUninstall files in the WINDOWS dir, is it ok to delete all of them?

aye, most of the bulk is 350mb tv shows or 1.4gig movies.
all legal, non copyrighted and free to download of course.

Dooom
