So i done a Disk Cleanup and this reports that i can free up space of 465gig [did you read that] 465 gig.

Did you also look up cleaning up System Restore Points (on a Tab of Disk Cleanup)?

I use WinDirStat for that, a useful little tool.

Thanks! Nice program. Not keen on the coloured blobs tho'

I was recently looking for a TREE program that gave directory sizes.

WinDirStat is just a reporting utility that reads all the directories and builds up details of all the total sizes. It doesn't run continually as, for example, an anti-virus program. Once you've got the size data you merely close the program.

If you mean the coloured blobs showing the proportions used by various file types, that can be turned off, it's the Treemap, just click on the Treemap menu item and untick Show Treemap (or press F9).

To be fair, it was John2007 here who pointed me to WinDirStat last year.

Some alternatives:

TreeSize Pro -> http://www.jam-software.com/treesize/

FolderSizes -> http://www.foldersizes.com/


I've used FoldeSizes on big servers a few years ago, worked well to report to management

Bring back XTreeGold.

Or try ztreewin

That brings back memories ... (Brief nostalgia moment) .....

Whatever happened to Xtree

Thanks! Tried TreeSize and will probably keep it as well WinDirStat.

Prefer WinDirStat for its layout, detail and compactness, but TreeSize gives Sizes as the actual Size on Disk, which I would have thought was more accurate and relevant, whereas WinDirStat gives the other Properties' Size, which is how much it represents (I think).

It was great There are a number of Free "Commander" Programs available which are nearly as good.

Try this one . Look for Server 1. Server 2. Server 3. in the middle of the page to avoid downloading the wrong thing.

I'm fairly certain I've got an old original copy of
Norton Commander "squirreled" away somewhere.

I wonder if it will work inside DOSBOX ?
