TreeSize Free
"TreeSize Free tells you where precious disk space has gone.
The freeware can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders in an Explorer-like fashion. Large folders can be identified at a glance thanks to the gradient bar displayed in the background. All scan results can be drilled down to file level and filters, e.g. for files of a certain type, can be applied." Portable http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/ |

I've pointed it out to a lot of people that want to know where disk space is going. Not that some of the folders you can do anything about :-) |

I just had some fun with Everything from voidtools.com. I used the Portable version. http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.3.4.686.x64.zip Unzip, and there is a single file inside, Everything.exe . Go to Start, type in "cmd", when the top option appears (to start a Command Promot window), right click and select "Run as Administrator". When the Command Prompt window opens, navigate to where the Everything.exe portable version is sitting. cd \ cd C:\users\username\Downloads dir Everything* That will verify your executable is sitting there. It should be listed. Now for the fun part. Everything -create-filelist output.efu "C:" I had a bit of trouble getting the path syntax right on the first try. At first, there was no output file, and no diagnostic. But once I changed to C:, it worked. It produced a 26MB output listing (text file), as the "output.efu". It's a comma separated file. And it created that file listing, in about 1 second! The impressive part was the speed. I popped that into the LibreOffice Spreadsheet program. Highlighted the "size" column. Selected Data:Sort. Clicked "extend selection" (so the size column is used as the sort key for the entire width of the file. Selected "Descending", so that the biggest file would be at the top of the spreadsheet. And then saved out as a .csv again. Now I know that "install.esd" is the largest file on my C: drive. Followed by pagefile (which it looks like I manually set a bit smaller than usual). My C: has no hiberfile, as hibernation is turned off (powercfg -h off). The "everything.exe" was able to list the contents of C:\System Volume Information which I consider to be the acid test for listing programs. For example, the Microsoft "nfi.exe" utility, won't list the contents of "C:\System Volume Information". ******* I do hope that the original poster "KG" in the original thread comes back to the newsgroup, so we can find out whether anything helped or not. Polite feedback is apparently a luxury these days. Paul |

Paul I find it interesting that there is a thread named "Something is filling my HD" and freeware programs were recommended in the thread to determine what was happening. It seems to me that TreeSize would be a good program for the individual to find out what is filling up the HD. -- Bill Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska |

Paul I find it interesting that there is a thread named "Something is filling my HD" and freeware programs were recommended in the thread to determine what was happening. It seems to me that TreeSize would be a good program for the individual to find out what is filling up the HD. So the fact that the "KG" individual hasn't responded, what does that tell you ? That there wasn't a problem in the first place, and this is a two thread "drive by". A person who has a "disk filling" problem, may need more than a TreeSize solution. Sometimes there is a program continuously gobbling up space. So more forensic work will be required to stop it. If this "KG" person really existed and had a problem, by getting feedback from the person, there would be an opportunity to help. By dumping one posting and running off, "KG" is wasting our time (24 responses). Say for example, I put a posting in this group "Jesus, I have a splitting headache" Then I walk away for a day, and people sit there wasting their time suggesting solutions. Then I come in early the next day with a "Buy my Aspirin Extra Strength, now $3.47 at Walmart" Would you be particularly happy about that ? What if all the drug companies did the same thing, for the entire contents of the Pharmaceutical Index ? And if you way "Well, we should cut a poor starving software developer some slack", where would we stop ? Would we also cut a Chinese guy selling knockoff branded sneakers some slack, and accept sneaker adverts too ? I don't have a problem if a developer participates in a thread, happens to mention their product, but provides full disclosure. "Hey, by the way, I wrote that". But, when they make their posting, there should also be substantive content where it *looks* like they're trying to help, and they're not there to just advertise. Paul |

That's the rule I follow with my shareware. I don't bring it up unless it's an actual solution to a problem posed in a thread. I confess it would never occur to me to post a fake problem and then offer a solution that was a disguised ad. Sometimes I'm so naive. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

The OP of the thread before that triggered this thread said this: "I have a Dell XPS8300 sys. It has a 1TB HD and after the original setup and program install the complied system was about 40GB in total used space it has grown to over 511GB since the install in 2011." I don't think he's sweating a fraction of a 10 GB drive. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
