If you request assistance with reducing your quota usage, TheCAT will send a Windows Disk Quota & Usage Report to your MCECS email address. This email lists all of your files and how much space they are using.

The "Disk Quota Detail" section of the email, shows how much of your Windows Home Directory and profile you are using. For example the user below needs to reduce their profile usage.

Home Folder Path:    //khensu/home04/username

  Limit:                  1.00 GB (Hard)
  Used:                   425.64 MB (42%)

  Profile Folder Path: //khensu/profile03/username
  Limit:                  150.00 MB (Hard)
  Used:                   145.75 MB (97%)

To navigate to a possible problem folder:

1. Copy the folder path from the Disk Quota Usage Report email //khensu/...
2. Open 'My Computer'
3. Paste the folder path into the address bar of 'My Computer'

The "Home Folder Usage Detail" section of the email, shows the main level of your N: drive. If there are any unneeded or rarely used files, you can delete or win-zip them. 

The "User Profile Folder Usage Detail" section of the email, shows the main level of your Windows profile. If your Application Data folder is large scroll down to the "Application Data Folder Detail" section of the email. Any file that is using more then 20,000,000 bytes of your 150,000,000 byte quota is considered large and might be a cause of your quota problem. 

For example the user below has 162 files in his recycling bin.

 Size (b)       Size on Disk (b)     Files  Directory
 23,344,976    23,749,686             162
//khensu/profile03/user/Application Data\$RECYCLE.BIN
