Quick tip to determine how much space is left on a disk

Free disk spaceBefore I get to the meat of today's tip, let's discuss the definition of disk. A disk is any computer device that can store data. Many times, computer users only think of floppy disks or CD's as disks, but hard drives, USB flash drives, and memory cards are all considered disks.

It is important to know how to determine how much free disk space you have on some of your disks. No matter the type of disk, you can figure out how much space is being used and how much is free by following these very simple steps:

  1. Double-click My Computer
  2. RIGHT Click on the drive you want the information about
  3. Click Properties

Ta da…you will now be presented with a pie chart showing the used (blue piece) and unused (pink piece) disk space.
