Find the files and folders using the most disk space on your hard drive using WizTree

Posted by Muhammed Posted on Wednesday, March 13, 2013

It would be annoying that you get a warning from windows about a low disk space even you have good hard disk capacity. You may be able to remove this warning temporarily by clearing unwanted files from your computer.   But it would be bit hard to find the large files on the computer which uses more disk space of your hard drive.

Here I would like to share a disk space analyzer tool which you can use to identify the files and folders which uses large space on your hard drive quickly and easy. 

WizTree is FREE app and it works well on 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, but the partition should be in NTFS format. WizTree reads the hard drive's Master File Table (MFT) directly from the disk. The MFT is a special hidden file used by the NTFS file system to keep track of all files and folders on a hard drive. Scanning for files this way completely bypasses the operating system (Windows) and provides a huge performance boost.

WizTree
 
The main features of the program are :

  • Finds the files and folders using the most space on your hard drive
  • Work VERY Fast! We think it's the fastest application of this type in the world!
  • Finds the top 1000 largest files on your hard drive
  • Sort the contents of your entire hard drive by folder size and optionally delete files and folders

Note: when you remove any files from your computer make sure those are not required for the correct operation of your PC!
