I didnt find any documenation to this method other than the thread in StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19510449/disk-space-in-winrt-using-c-sharp-in-windows-8
so im keeping it here so it wont get lost by the winds of time….
public static async Task<UInt64> GetFreeSpace(this IStorageItem sf){ var properties = await sf.GetBasicPropertiesAsync(); var filteredProperties = await properties.RetrievePropertiesAsync(new[] { "System.FreeSpace" }); var freeSpace = filteredProperties["System.FreeSpace"]; return (UInt64)freeSpace;} |
Sample use:
var freeSpace = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFreeSpace();Debug.WriteLine(freeSpace.GetSizeString()); |
Thank you Filip Skakun
