Program to show full directory tree sizes

[duragezic]

I'm looking for something that could for example start from my root C: drive and go down each directory, listing the # of files and size of each folder in a simple GUI.

I thought I've used this before (thinking it was builtin even) but I guess not. It'd just be nice instead of manually going through each, right-click directory-> Properties, etc...

I am low on hard drive space and would like to get an idea of where I can clean up until I get a new drive.

Speaking of drives, they seem hard to find. On Newegg, there are only a couple decent choices for 1.5 to 2 TB range. Half of them are this green eco garbage!

dir /s > output.txt

Disclaimer: The above reports the size of files for each folder and does not include the space used by subfolders.

This is an older version but its more than sufficient. Don't get the newer version, it's not free.

Probably the best program out right now, 15 day free trial , $25 after that.

Port apps has one too called windirstat

It works great, and is free forever.

There is a pro version that you can buy, but the only real difference is that it will scan network drives as well as local drives.

yeaa i've been using tree size for years. it hunts down the odd jumble of files you forgot about eating space somewhere. there are plenty of more graphical ones, but i find they are pretty but useless.
