Another great find 5 stars by gimpguy Aug 04, 2012 (Read all my 1072 reviews)
I just found some good disk space analyzers, however, this has now topped the chart for me. Not only do you get a great list view and space acquired color view, it's extremely easy to track down large files and folders taking up space. You can also work with files and folders right from the application itself which is nice. Of course, that's why there are different applications to suit everyone's needs, this one happens to fit my style perfectly and will be my primary from here on. showShow review details
Essential for the age of large disks 5 stars by Brunel99 Apr 24, 2012 (Read all my 2 reviews)
I started using WinDirStat a year ago and it has proven to be valuable time and again. The only downside is that it takes a long time to analyse the disk, but that can't be helped. Once it's done though, you can see at a glance where all your disk space is going. The list shows the folders and in size order so you can concentrate on the big fish first. The real beauty though is the graphical display below where you can immediately find those GigaByte files. The colours let you see at a glance the file types so you can see how much disk space is used for photo's. It also highlights (indirectly) how much disk space Windows sucks up ... showShow review details
Truely useful... 5 stars by KnuttNHoney Apr 14, 2010 (Read all my 2 reviews)
Very useful especially for large drives (network drives). Easy to spot large files or large groups of small files. showShow review details
Very good tool. 5 stars by CarbonDudeoxide Jan 23, 2009 (Read all my 26 reviews)
If you're short on space and are looking for anything hogging your hard disk space, this is a great tool for the job. The picture representation is a great way to show you the files on your computer. If you see a large block, it would be a large file. If you clicked on the large block, its file information will come up, showing you when it was created, how big it is, its location, etc... Very useful, but takes a long time for it to analyze the computer. showShow review details
A great program thats easy to underestimate 5 stars by _Dave_ Aug 24, 2008 (Read all my 7 reviews)
As one reviewer said, this isnt a program that youll use every day, but when you need it, its certainly one of the best tools for the job. First opinions are sometimes deceiving, and the colorful usage/distribution display at the bottom of the screen was a bit disconcerting at first. After a few minutes of playing (who reads help files?), I realized that what looks like pop-art is probably the most powerful feature of this gem of a program. After understanding what it meant and how it worked, I fell in love with this little gem. Anyone can make good use of WDS, but its especially useful for people who have others using their computer. Whether its parents with kids that are filling their hard drives with junk, or IT admins who need to monitor their users disk space. WISHLIST: It would be nice if you could drag and drop from WDS to a folder of your choice (not a big deal though). BOTTOM LINE: WDS is a great program that has significant value. Dont underestimate it. showShow review details
Great tool 5 stars by BurningRopeCom Oct 29, 2007 (Read all my 13 reviews)
Not a program you are going to use often, but it's handy to have when you are running low on free space as it shows clearly the big files that you have forgotten about - a big avi stands out a mile in a folder of jpgs! - I found 4Gb being wasted on one drive thanks to the colour-coded display on this great little program. Highly recommended. showShow review details
Another vote of confidence 5 stars by jackfrost May 28, 2007 (Read all my 35 reviews)
Decided to chime in on this nice free program and express my gratitude to the developer for making a really useful cross platform app that builds off of tree mapping better than others do. some of the others are mere curiosities, but this one has functional value and i thank them for providing it at snap-files. showShow review details
Like Sequoiaview, only much better 5 stars by EM_745 Oct 06, 2006 (Read all my 8 reviews)
Another great title from the SourceForge community. This app gives a unique "modern-art"-like view of all the files on your hard drive, making it very easy to spot those space "hogs." Granted, this is not something you're likely to use every day, but it's still very useful and a nice tool to have when your HDD's free space is shrinking fast and you want to know exactly where it all went. Easy to use, stable and highly configurable. A real hoot. showShow review details
Best free tool i've seen so far for this 5 stars by RangerFish Jul 06, 2006
Combines the best of Overdisk, Sequoia and Treesize, while outperforming them all. showShow review details

Nice improvement 5 stars by vjacobi Jun 10, 2006 (Read all my 13 reviews)
Very easy to install, stable program, sexy interface (I really dig the animated pac-man icons moving to show progress). Author gives credit where credit is due for treemaps used with SequoiaView software and improves the interface and functionality with WinDirStat. Recommended! showShow review details
