DownloadWinDirStat (Windows Directory Statistics) is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for Windows. On start up, WinDirStat reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views:
- The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size,
- The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away,
- The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.
Visit the WinDirStat blog for more up-to-date information about the program.
Note: If you are looking for an alternative to WinDirStat for Linux, then you are looking for KDirStat (apt-get install kdirstat on Debian-derivatives), and the alternative to WinDirStat for MacOS X is Disk Inventory X or GrandPerspective.

My go to tool for seeing what's using up disk space on my drives and has been for as long as I can remember <3
-
One of the best software tools I've ever used

Very informative display of storage sections on the computer. It detects an external hard drive but it doesn't seem to find my USB flash drive. Am I missing a setting somewhere because this would be relly helpful.

A big thank you to Oliver Schneider, Bernhard Seifert! WinDirStat has been an invaluable tool for me in cleaning up storage space for many years. Hope you enjoy my donation, and I wish others also support you for the times it helped them! :)

Perfect for what I needed to do. Gives good details on what's using up space and even has a little pane on the side where it sorts the file types in order of size.
