Is it possible to limit a folder size in Windows so that when a user tries to write to the folder when it is full he receives an error message?
Maximum file size: 256 terabytes. Maximum number of files on disk: 4,294,967,295. Maximum number of files in a single folder: 4,294,967,295.
Method 1: Reduce Windows folder size Windows 10 using Disk Cleanup. You can use Disk Cleanup in Windows 7/8/10/11, but there is a little difference in Windows 10 Disk Cleanup. Windows 10 Disk Cleanup adds a new option named System Compression that is used to compress Windows binaries and program files.
Keep in mind that Disk Quotas are per user not per folder, there are other solutions that will allow you to lock down a folder size regardless of user, my experience has been with Veritas Storage Exec, but it seems to be discontinued.
Do you mean disk quotas as described at, e.g. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Configuring-Disk-Quotas-Windows-2003.html?
