OT: Recommended Utility To Find Used Space

jrazz wrote on 5/22/2008, 1:58 PM

Basically, I am looking for something that I can install on several pc's and it tell me by a graph what directories contain the most used space.

I recall something several years ago being talked about that does either this or something similar on this forum. Any ideas or suggestions?

here are three of my favorites. All three are tiny and do a good job. Pick the one you like the look of:

Win Dir Stat:

Tree Size:

Here's a screen shot:

The top screen can be sorted by items or size, so you can quickly see which folders are eating up space. The middle section lets you quickly see what type of file is the problem. Finally, the bottom shows you the largest individual files.

My all time favorite is SequoiaView which displays tree maps. Be sure to turn on coloring on the left of the tool bar.

SequoiaView

Last released in 2002 and does work fine to this day even in Vista according to their FAQ and its free.
