Random Monday : TreeSize Free 2.1 - Keep Track of Your HDD Space

Sunday, June 24th, 2007, 10:45 pmRoys

I use the freeware version of TreeSize to keep track of where my precious harddisk space are allocated. Since I download a lot of stuff everyday and tend to keep them all over the place, I run TreeSize once in a while to find out which directories take up the most diskspace and delete those unneeded directories hiding on the harddisk.

Found 100 MB worth of useless files yesterday which were not removed when I uninstalled Lego Digital Designer a few months ago. (Screenshot taken with a older version (1.78) of TreeSize Free)

It can also be launched via the context menu in Windows Explorer to view the harddisk space occupied by a particular directory and its subdirectories. Another nice time-saving feature is the ability to open any folder in Windows Explorer or do file operations like deleting the directory directly from TreeSize.

Details of the professional version of this software can be found at the official TreeSize page at JAM Software.

Download Treesize as a zip file (723 KB - No installer, no shell integration and no readme.txt) or with an installer (1.1 MB - optional shell integration and readme.txt)

    And the cause of this lack of HDD space is partly due to you guys : gnome’s PDFs and indie game demos and elderly’s wallpapers.

    Damn!
