Aimed at:  Edinburgh Napier’s staff

To check your disk size using File Explorer: 

• From a Windows desktop open File Explorer:

• From the left menu choose This PC.
• In the "Network Locations" section you will see a graphical representation of the available disk space on your H drive:

         If your H drive is more than 90% full the blue indicator bar will turn red.

• For further information about available disk space right click on your H drive and select Properties, the Home Drive Properties screen will open:

If your H drive is full:

If you find that you do not have any free space available on your H: or if you are approaching your maximum capacity then spend some time deleting any files that you no longer use. 

You will receive email notification when you approach the warning level for your H: drive and again when you have exceeded your limit however it is beneficial to get in to the habit of regularly checking your files and deleting any unneeded data.

If you are still unable to save to your H drive once you have deleted your unwanted files, or if you require further information regarding your H drive contact the IS Service Desk.
