Description of the invention (2) The processing becomes more and more difficult. The fast access or retrieval and clearing of the entire file system, from the perspective of Chu, is decisive for its daily use. Although the capacity of hard disks is getting larger and larger, the memory of computer systems is still in short supply, especially for applications that require a larger amount of storage, such as multimedia, and the increasing use of applications. The existence of too many files not only consumes unnecessary memory capacity, but-because of the time it takes to find and access the stored files-essentially makes the system less efficient in response time. Every computer user has a huge variety of different types of files. In the current filing system, all these files are treated the same. If computer systems are used in a commercial environment, there are usually so-called record-keeping rules that define different types of files, where and how they must be stored in memory, and-(most importantly-those individual files) How long must it be kept. The current slotting system does not follow up. Users maintain such record keeping rules. 1 There are files that are used to remove files that have exceeded their normal life. Production and deletion equipment, but these are applied uniformly throughout the file system. For example, in the UN IX system, you can choose _, periodically running software, which can be planned to remove files older than a set number of days in a folder (or directory) list. Regardless of whether they have More_ Huang Yao, this is the disadvantage of this common way of treating all files in addition \ In addition, if the above files are systematically removed, it is not a necessary part of the operating system, but a zone j or the customer Demand options: As the use of unmanaged personal workstations or laptops increases, the growth of files and the accompanying disk memory requirements are available.
