Question

How to find how much disk space is left using Java?

Answer 1

Have a look at the File class documentation. This is one of the new features in 1.6.

These new methods also include:

• public long getTotalSpace()
• public long getFreeSpace()
• public long getUsableSpace()

If you're still using 1.5 then you can use the Apache Commons IO library and its FileSystem class
