The files on my 220 GB hard drive seem to be having babies cause my disk space seems to decrease each day. A couple of weeks ago I had <15 GB left, so I deleted about 60 GB worth of files. After a couple of weeks I'm at about 30 GB of free space. Is there some program that will scan the hard drive and then come up with a nice list that shows how much disk space each folder is consuming? Of course I could right click on a folder and find out the disk space that it's taking up, but I'm curious what my whole hard drive looks like. Know any programs that can do this? P.S. It's a Windows Vista laptop.

Try Googling for "vista folder usage visualisation" (or similar), a quick glance at some of the results look promising.

Hey thanks! I had no idea what to search for. I'm trying one of the results out now...

[edit]

Yup, the first result works like a charm. I'd make cookies for you but I have no idea how I'd get them to you.

I normally would link you to the website where you can download it but I've gotta head out the door and just wanted to say, try WinDirStat.

It creates a nice colorful picture of all your data.

I'm not sure which you went for, but WinDirStat is what I'd recommend in any case due to the intuitive way it presents the results.

Edit: Ninja'd. [rolleyes]

HD Graph, not the best in the world but does the job.

I think I'm good. It might be the paranoia, but all the cookies I get from people online ever seem to do is try to spy on me [looksaround]

You have an odd sense of paranoia,... My first fear is just what they made the cookies with.

Usually they are chocolate bit cookies, but I don't check every time. I don't even ask for them, I just visit peoples sites and the owners just send them to me...

Portable Software i.Disk, it does the job well enough. It is small and doesn't require an installer (although it has one if you want it). Just unzip and enjoy.
