You will get a window with a pie chart on the bottom that will tell you how much space is used, and how much is free. MAC OS X: From the desktop, CTRL+Click (or right click if using a two+ button mouse) on the Hard Drive icon, then select 'Get Info'. The information on hard drive utilization will be displayed. Linux: From a terminal window, type in 'df -h' and hit enter. This will show you how much space is used/available at each mount point. Some UNIX and Linux distributions do not support the -h switch in the df command. In this case, you can use 'df -k', but the output is in kilobytes which can be tedious to read.

∙ 14y agoIn order to see the free space on a hard drive, you can go to My Computer (or Computer in newer versions of Windows) and right clicking the hard drive you want to see. Go to properties and there will be a pie chart showing used vs empty space on the hard drive.
Another useful tool is Treesizefree (look on Google). This tool will show you what is on your hard drive and organize it all by size, so you can see what is taking up space.

Why is it important to know the size of the hard drive as well as the space being used important?
because it lets you know how much free space you have left to put more stuff on.
What is the definition of unused disk space?
Unused disk space is space on a hard drive (or another kind of disk such as a CD) which has not had any digital information written onto it or is free to be written over. Example: you buy a brand new 100GB hard drive and the only thing on it is your copy of Windows7 64-bit. About 20 GB of the hard drive are required to store the Windows7 operating system on, so you would have around 80GB left that is "free." This is unused disk space. An interesting fact, too: when you delete something by putting it into your "recycle bin" and deleting it, it doesn't actually "go" anywhere. The computer does not go in and actually "erase" that information from your hard drive, it just notes that the area where that information was stored is now "free" to be written over with new information, so this also counts toward "unused disk space."
What do you do if you can not defrag a harddrive because there is only six percent space left on the disk?
You are going to have to free up some space on your hard drive. You have too small of a hard drive for the programs installed. Start removing programs you don't need. Next start removing videos & photos. Keep removing stuff until you get around 12-15% free space. Also def ragging in safe mode will help.
What version of windows 7 should i get if i only have 27 gibs of harddrive left and with 2gibs of ram?
I think you can get every version. If you want to buy 32-bit version, you must have at least 1 GB of RAM (you have 2, ok, it will work) and 16 GB of hard disk (you have 27 GB of hard disk left, ok, it will work).If you want to buy 64-bit version, you must have at least 2 GB of RAM (you have 2, that's minimum, but your computer could work slowly, so it's best that you get additional 1 GB of RAM) and 20 GB of hard disk space (ok).
Where can one find information about their computer's hard drive space?
Hard drive space, is frequently located in "my computer" and can easily tell you have much space you have used, and the amount of space that you have left. Simply click on "my computer", and choose the drive that you wish to look at. If you already have done this and would like to know how to clean up some of the space to widen your capacity, you may want to do a system restore, and a disk defragment, to compress some of the widely spread data eating up your space. The bottom line is, you'll want to check the "my computer" file visible by simply clicking the icon on your computer.

On desktop, click hard drive icon to select it. Go to file menu and select Get Info. (or simply "right-click" on hard drive icon and choose Get Info.) You will see "Capacity" of drive, and "Available" and "Used" space. Note: you may have several "hard drive icons" on a single physical drive. That is because the Mac treats each partition as a separate drive. To see all partitions, launch the "Disk Utility.app". On the left side, it will list all the partitions on each physical drive, whether mounted on the desktop or not. You can select any partition and click on "info" at top of the "Disk Utility" window to see space used and free space on that partition.
