Using SBS 2003 with XP pro clients. One user hit the 1GB quota on shared
folder. Increased the quota to keep her functional, but when I checked her
portion of the shared folder, it showed less than 300 MB used. Are there
hidden files that can be removed, or is there something on her PC that's
causing this discrepancy?

I don't think the quota is her folder, it's files owned by her. So she
might have files in other folders too?


Jim

correct, the quote is cumulative for the entire volume, not per folder
