Me too. Thought, did I say this already? Evidentally, "I" had.

Hey, a Java app that doesn't look like a Java app. How novel! I tend to use WinDirStat without the treemap, but the reports in JDiskReport are pretty nice. WinDirStat does let you delete offendingly large files without having to resort to explorer though.

I've been looking for an app to help me manage my diskspace usage for quite a while and eventually gave up. Best one I found was FolderSizes[^] (don't click it yet) which was unfortunately not free. Yesterday a colleague, not even knowing that I was in search of such an app, introduced me to WinDirStat[^] (this one you may click!) which is by far the most useful diskspace analyser I have ever used. The best part of it being that it's OpenSource software. So, hoping this is not common knowledge or a repost, I wanted to share this with anyone here who may be in need of disk-space. (Personally, I live like a little piggy on my harddrive, so this helped me a lot!) Regards!

Thanks. I've been looking for just such a program. I'm downloading it right now....

Overdisk http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/programs/overdisk.html[^] It's simple and free.

On a not-verymuch-related note, I'd like to say JKDefrag[^] is an excellent disk defragmentation program. :)

I've been looking for a program like that, that displays registry hive usage instead of disk. Does anyone know of one?

I prefer a combination of MyOwnEyes and UsingMyBrain. They came pre-installed on me when I was born, and they seem to work pretty well.

Have you ever tried SequoiaView[^] This is by far the most useful disk visualisation tool I've ever used. That's of course me saying it without trying WinDirStat :)
I've used both SequoiaView and WinDirStat for years and love them. They're essentially the same thing. I don't remember why I started preferring WinDirStat. They are great for quickly crawling through your directory structure to find out where your drive space has gone. You can quickly (and visually) find the largest projects/videos/songs/trash files you can delete to get back the most space with the least effort. If you get used to using the arrow keys to navigate your directory structure, you get a real feel for your directory and file layout and how your drive space is allocated.
