TreeSize

In another thread, Rad mentioned the
TreeSize
utility by JAM Software: a “powerful and flexible hard disk space manager for Windows.” I’m using TreeSize Professional, and have found it helpful to answers questions such as:
Which folders occupy the most space?
Which folders have increased/decreased in size the most (as compared to a prior hard disk scan)?
Which category of files (e.g., system files, audio files) occupy the most space?
What are the largest files on the disk?
Why has the size of an image backup file increased since the prior run?
And, it’s fast. In about 5 seconds, the utility scans 122,000 files in 20,000 folders, occupying 36GB for my operating system partition.
It’s probably not the type of utility a user will run every day, but I think that many readers of this forum would find it to be valuable. (There is also a free edition of the tool available, too.)
P.S.: Kudos to Rad for the reference to this utillity!

For those of us who don't need analytic data about the info on thier disk, but just want a visual representation, I know of Sequoia View (

) and WinDirStat (

), both free programs.
