software to read drive space usage

I used one once, showed blocks that were files, made it dead easy to see large files hidden. Cant remember the name of it.

Reason, my new 128GB SSD has some how eaten up just over 20GB and I have no idea what used the space!

I use Treesize to see large files.

Think you can save space by disabling hibernation and turning off system restore.

Similar to that, but not quite.

Thanks for those suggestions though mate! Totally slipped my mind haha. Saved me a good several gigs.

If I'm not mistaken, You're looking for WinDirStat?
