    Files and Directories

    Everything on a PC is stored as files and directories. You can think of a PC as a big filing cabinet. Inside this cabinet there are some files and some folders with specific names. Inside the folders there can be text files, pictures, etc. or more folders (directories).



    When one directory is inside of another, it is known as a subdirectory.

    All of these files and directories have to be stored on disks. Hard disks can store a lot of information.
