Tree view of directories and subdirectories; expandable list showing name, size, modify history, and access history.

Active and inactive data comparison for the object selected in the directory list.

The tree view will not display the access history.

The files view will be altered.

The active/inactive data view will be based on modified time (mtime).

File system locations consuming the most space

Detailed information about a directory tree, including file and subdirectory count within directories and subdirectories

File system locations that contain old data (for example, scratch, temp, or log trees)

FSA show where and when your data is in use, not how much data is being processed. For example, large space consumption by recently accessed or modified files does not necessarily indicate high system processing loads.

The way that the Volume Explorer tab calculates space consumption for FSA might differ from other tools. In particular, there could be significant differences compared to the consumption reported in the Volume Overview if the volume has storage efficiency features enabled. This is because the Volume Explorer tab does not include efficiency savings.

Due to space limitations in the directory display, it is not possible to view a directory depth greater than 8 levels in the List View. To view directories more than 8 levels deep, you must switch to Graphical View, locate the desired directory, then switch back to List View. This will allow additional screen space in the display.
