Dear experts,<br />
How is it possible to make file of 0 bytes (for example empty text file)? Where is the name of the file and date etc. stored? If I make a folder of a billion 0 byte files I suppose that I have to have less space on my harddrive anyway?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
