You can easily always find that obscure big chunk of data, that is hogging a lot of space and either move it to portable drive or remove it to generate free space. With these features managing data become very easy. You can easily select any data chunk and right click on it to find its exact location and which file type is it. The top right pane shows the file types in a particular drive and the bottom pane represents the space occupied by a specific file type. The top left pane shows the drives in a Tree View like Windows explorer, so that you dig deeper in any folder to see the content – edit, delete or move them to manage space more efficiently. The image above shows the analysis I ran on 3 drives on my computer. WinDirStat is a small freeware utility, which rapidly analyzes data from the drives you select at the start and present you with the information. That is a lot of information, that can really help you in moving and organizing data. It not only visually represents the content, but also shows the location in a Windows Explorer like tree view and the extensions and file types present in that drive. WinDirStat helps you get a complete overview of the contents of a drive. Hard Drive Space Management with WinDirStat:Īs the name of the software suggests, WinDirStat, provides us with information (stats) about the contents of a data drive, may it be a hard drive or a portable one. You still need to dig deeper into each folder. However using this approach you don’t get a complete overview of the contents of the drive. As you can see, the folders stacked by size help you segregate data by their size and thus help you in organizing files.
