Title: WinDirStat: Best HDD tool, ever.
Post by: Galemp on November 17, 2009, 03:59:08 pm

So you run this little tool on the drive of your choice and it gives you a complete breakdown of how your space is being used.

I found out that I had 20 gb of unfinished downloads in my DC++ Program Files directory. I had no idea it was there, and there was no way to find it until I used this.

Try it. http://sourceforge.net/projects/windirstat/

It's not complicated.

Every one of the rectangles is a file.

You know what it kind of reminds more of? A picture of a microchip die :P

Some of the descriptions are a bit ... weird. "Anwendung"? What's that?

Glary's Utilities (http://www.glaryutilities.com/) has the same thing, and a bunch of other useful things too.

I prefer Foldersize:

http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/

It's a simple add-on that allows viewing more in-depth stats right there in Windows Explorer.
