WinDirStat: Best HDD tool, ever.
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/

I prefer Foldersize:

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