Refresh data in network share windows
Authored by: zzen on Mar 15, '04 08:53:21PM
I personally use the
sudo killall lookupd
command in Terminal. Lookupd, among other things, manages a lot of cached information in OS X. I found it helps to refresh my mounted SMB shares, maybe it will help you, too. It's certainly faster then rmdiring those directories...

Or much simpler... you could use the Nudge Contextual Menu (freeware)

Any chance to refresh local Finder folder size information? (your method doesn't solve my problem).

When I have a folder with "Calculate folder size" option checked and then save files from some application into some subfolder that shows "Zero KB", nothing (?) can force Finder to recalculate its size.
