Discover the Power of WinDirStat (free disk usage analyzer)

What is WinDirStat

WinDirStat is a free and open-source graphical disk usage analyzer for Windows. It helps you to understand exactly what’s taking up space on your computer.

WinDirStat Features

It reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views: The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size; The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away; and The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.

The treemap represents each file as a colored rectangle, the area of which is proportional to the file’s size. The rectangles are arranged in such a way, that directories again make up rectangles, which contain all their files and subdirectories. So their area is proportional to the size of the subtrees. The color of a rectangle indicates the type of the file, as shown in the extension list. The cushion shading additionally brings out the directory structure.

WinDirStat is also a cleanup tool for various versions of Microsoft Windows. If you’re looking for an alternative for Linux, you can try KDirStat or QDirStat; for MacOS X, it would be Disk Inventory X or GrandPerspective.
