Undoubtable!
But it would help having a sample bad script and some knowledge of what is
going wrong.
Diagnosing blindly, I suspect most such scripts are written to run
recursively, so a very deep folder structure could cause them to need a lot of stack
space.
A non-recursive solution will need far less interim storage.
But 500meg sounds a lot.
I dusted off the equivalent script I once wrote and tried it on my folder
structure, and it needed less than 100K of interim storage. But then may not have
so deep a tree as you.
Can you post an example of the code you are using?
