each drive.
If, however, a folder is selected, this area will show you the size of the folder including all its files and
subfolders. You also receive information on the creation date of the folder and when it was last used.
In the lower area of the window, you will see the following tables:

Contents to switch to the Contents view.
File Types
This table organizes the files contained in the selected element based on file types and shows you at a
glance which types of files (documents, music files, videos or images) are taking up the most disk
space.
Please note that this view does not just include the files that are directly located in the selected drive or
folder, but also includes all files in subfolders. You can limit the amount of information being displayed
by moving a level lower in the folder tree on the left.
