I was getting concerned about shrinking disk space on my Exchange partition. One of the first things I checked was the Badmail folder, which showed 0 files and 0 bytes in size in Windows Explorer. However, if you look at the properties of the folder, the folder size is over 1 GB. Obviously, I need to clear this file out, the question is, how do I do it? Hidden files are set to be shown. I believe Explorer is hanging going into the badmail folder... is there a command from the command prompt I can use to delete the files in this folder? Thanks for any help you can give me.
Aloha 61shevy, All the DOS commands will work from the command prompt. So you could go to the folder and DEL *.*. I'm going to guess that you checked the size of the folder in Windows Explorer and it's possible that it just took Windows Explorer so long to enumerate the items in the folder that it looked blank. Try going there in the Command Prompt and do a DIR - see if it shows a long list of items. -Ben- Ben M.
