Solved Visually see storage usage

[Tomha]

My main 1tb drive is almost full, and I need to know some of the big things occupying all that space so I can move them, however clicking through windows explorer and checking the properties of every folder isn't very practical. Is there a free program out there that can visually present to me how my space is being used? For example in Tune Up (which I no longer have) it could list the 10 largest files, and give you a pie graph showing how much of a files size is occupied by each of its internal files. Or on OSX (apple) there is some program that draws a big picture of coloured squares, each square represents a file or folder, you can then look at the biggest squares to tell what are the biggest space occupiers.

Thanks

SequoiaView does this as do several others such as WinDirStat and TreeSize.

Looks like just the thing Thanks.

You could also try WinDirStat. WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics

I think that is what I used last time, and that was great too, thanks

To be honest, WinDirStat is a lot easier to use, the interface is clear, and browsing files is very easy. SequoiaView is nice, but perhaps a little clumsy feeling. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated

Well I did give you a choice of three with a link to many more.

I must admit I rarely use SequoiaView - just occasionally to find some large unnecessary files that I might have accumulated.
