win 7 home prem pie chart?

As I am filling up my "C" drive I remembered there used to be a free
program that would show a pie chart with what is taking up space on the
hard drive.
Does anybody know what that is called or where I could find a like program?
Thank you for any help.

If you don't want an installer, try adding 'portable' to the search. If
that doesn't do the trick, post your question in alt.comp.freeware.

Remembered how far back? Back to which version of Windows?

PC Magazine has their Disk Pie utility but they stopped making free
their utilities. While they claim their utilities are free, you have to
pay (annually subscribe) to *access* those "free" utilities. Since
access is not free then neither are their utilities.

Perhaps you're thinking of TreeSize Free by Jam Software. That shows a
hierarchical (tree) list of folders (and optionally files) to show you
which ones consume the most disk space.

Another is WinDirStat if you're into eyecandy. It tries to show disk
consumption as a bunch of blobs in a disk map. I find it not as useful
as having a list with numbers.

System requirements:
TreeSize : Windows 8/7/Vista/XP
Windows Server 2012/2008/2003
(32 or 64 Bit)
WinDirStat: Windows 95 (IE5), Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows NT4
(SP5), Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, and Windows 7
(No mention of both 32- and 64-bit are supported)

I'm sure the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup would have other suggestions.
Just be prepared to ignore or filter out a lot of noise over there.

Pie chart no, but this is what I've been using this:
http://windirstat.info/
"The treemap represents each file as a colored rectangle, the area of
which is proportional to the file's size. The rectangles are arranged in
such a way, that directories again make up rectangles, which contain all
their files and subdirectories. So their area is proportional ..... ......"

Better than a pie chart is a cushioned tree-map view of the drive.
And in my opinion Sequoiaview has never been beaten;

Look at this map of my C drive;
http://tinyurl.com/agv9c9c
Windows on the left through Program Files, Users, to pagefile and
hibernation file; and when you run your cursor over it, it displays the
file name covered in a box.

I've solved problems and questions using it in seconds.

Ditto. Too bad it hasn't been updated recently.

No. Both SequoiaView and WinDirStat are more information than art.

I don't think that's going to be of much use in telling the OP "what
is taking up space on the hard drive." :-)

You're right. As soon as I had posted I realized I had misread the
question, but it was too late to cancel my response.
