Finding out what directories are using the most space on windows [duplicate]

Best program to visualize file system usage on Windows?

Hi, I have about 2 terabytes of total space spread over several drives.. While I still have 500 GB free which should last quite a while I want to do some cleanup.

I'm not very organized and the directory structure is a total mess.. It would take days to go through everything, but according to the 80/20 rule 80% of the space is used by 20% of directories. How do I find them?

For example: C:\a - 200 GB C:\b - 111 GB

Then if I want to see the subdirectories of C:: C:\a\b - 140 GB C:\a\aaaa - 100 GB

..and so on.

Is there a builtin windows command / program or a 3rd party utility to do that?

Solution 1:

WinDirStat was made for this task!

It'll show you exactly where your space is going.

Solution 2:

TreeSize is another such application.

Treesize in action

Solution 3:

I like SpaceSniffer. Small, fast, and doesn't require an install.

Solution 4:

Fans of the mighty Total Commander use the VisualDirSize plug-in.
