Hi All,

I am trying to clear a share drive in unix to free up some space. I noticed that when I use " ls -l " command to list the contents of folders it displays the size of a folder.

there are some empty folders, and yet their size is quite large. For example an empty folder is of size 333824, and there are many others like this folder which are empty yet their size is quite large. Can some one suggest why? I checked hidden items too but there is nothing in it.

thanks,
jeet
