We encountered situations where the size of drive gets full and it is very difficult to identify which files are consuming more space. We came across this open source tool which helped us to solve this problem.
Tool name: WinDirStat
Download Link: https://windirstat.net/download.html
After installing this tool we need to run this tool to analyze the files.
Below tool has 3 options from which you can select any one.
- All Local Drive
- Individual Drives
- Folder
After clicking on Ok it will provide you analysis of space occupied by folders/files as shown below.

Based on this you can identify unwanted files and folders and you can free up the space. This tool will be helpful when there is large amount of data that needs to be deleted to free up disk space.
I hope you find this information useful.
I prefer Directory Report over WinDirStat
ReplyDeleteThanks AllanBraun for suggestion. I will try using Directory Reports as well.
