Hey and good morning too you all.

I was unpleasantly surprized when I wanted to install a new game onto my 1 TB traditional HDD and windows told me there was not enough space on there.

I tried hunting down the file folders that I thought would be the main problems to delete, but if I am to believe windows, these folders are quite small and shouldn't cause proboems, if windows is to be believet that is.

So, I am searching for a tool or a tool box which includes a program which can show me in a list view how much space a given file folder or program is taking up so I can get a detailed overview what stuff gathered up in the last year or so, well, since i had the drive reset a year ago.

so, does someone know a tool which can do that?

Thanks in advance

Greetings Moritz.

I like tree size free, it's free, accessible and it auto sorts your file system as a tree with most heavy nodes up top, very handy: https://www.jam-software.de/customers/d … anguage=EN

I use tree size free as well. Windows sometimes when you click properties to iew a folder's size will seem to ignore things with really long paths, such as the contents of some of my sfx folder. Tree size free doesn't have that limitation.

also you could give CCleaner a go.
it should clear big folders and get rid of files that you don't use a lot

Have a lovely day.

@5, you don't even need CCleaner, you can already do that on Windows: https://www.howtogeek.com/361112/heres- … -ccleaner/
