Earl:
You can count the files and the storage used before and after. There are
tools for that, or you can create a script that uses command line tools.
FYI: With Outlook PST files, you need to compact the file after deletions to
regain all of the storage freed.

Subject: [RM] Tech question regarding an Outlook e-mail deletion measuring
tool...
Good afternoon,
We just recently completed an outstanding [physical] records cleanup day
last month, and as I was speaking with some of our IT folks in planning a
similar cleanup campaign for electronic records, the question came up as to
the usefulness of a visual way of measuring the progress of such a cleanup.
In other words, during a physical record cleanup you can visually measure
your progress by looking at how much stuff you've dispositioned (by checking
the waste paper basket or the shred bin).
Does anyone know of a software utility that can be used to measure the
volume of electronic records deleted from an Inbox? Or from a hard drive?
Some sort of visual software utility that displays the gas gauge of a car
that starts out on full, but then moves counter clock-wise to 3/4ths tank, ½
tank, ¼th tank, etc. as files are purged, would be especially kewl!
How have you measure the progress of an electronic records cleanup? By
employee? By department? By the company as a whole?
Thanks.
