Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run the dir /all command to view information about all files including dumped files in the recycle bin. The name of a dumped file is placed in brackets "[ ]", for example, [text].

For details about the file information displayed in the dir command output, see Configuration > Basic Configuration > File System Configuration > Operating Files After Logging In to a Device > Managing Directories.

The wildcard "*" can be used in the command.

If hidden files exist in the system, they occupy disk space.
