Hard drives are huge these days (I have a couple drives in my computer with a total of over 1 TB of space), but that doesn\u2019t mean that it is infinite. More important, having lots of stuff on your hard drive can slow down your computer and make some tasks, like defragmenting, take much more time. Sure, you can see how much space you have used and how much is left in Windows by looking at the drive properties, but wouldn\u2019t it be nicer to see exactly where <\/em>things are?
