Visual Representation of HDD Usage

MotherMayI · 11 Jul 2008 at 12:11

A lot of space on my Vista partition is being used up by something, and I can't figure out what - It should be pretty much empty besides the Vista install. I remember seeing on this website not so long ago a screenshot of a program that created a sort of visual representation of the file structure of a drive using rectangles to show how much space a certain directory is using. However, I can't find it using Search for the life of me.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers.

Jdiskreport is better imo

it's probably system restore, disable it

also, run ccleaner slim

Thanks guys, looks like they will do just fine.

Although they don't look quite the same as the one I remember

Another vote for SpaceMonger here. It's an awesome little app! Get the free SpaceMonger v1.4.0 version. It's basically the same only totally free.

Good link, with a to the point description, specially the last paragraph.

You can bet the majority of the " Just in Case " files that are in there are not actually used, I think its about time M$ wrote something that actually monitors this folder and deletes whats not used after a given time.
