Directory Hog

Directory Hog is a small software application whose purpose is to help you scan an entire drive or a user-defined folder in order to identify the total size of each directory and the largest file in the current folder. It can be deployed on all Windows flavors out there.

You are welcomed by an intuitive layout that allows you to carry out scan tasks with ease. A help manual is not included in the package. However, you can quickly get an idea about how to set up the dedicated parameters because they look easy to decode.

Directory Hog gives you the possibility to pick the target drive that you want to scan from a drop-down list or manually specify the target location on the disk.

The time needed to finish a scan job pretty much depends on the number of items stored on the disk. Tests have pointed out that the application eats up a moderate amount of system resources and reveals the results directly in the main window.

You can check out details about all detected folders, namely number of items stored in the current folder, total size of the directory, as well as the largest file comprised in the current folder. What’s more, you are allowed to double-click on items in order to open them via your Windows Explorer.

Other important options worth being mentioned enable you to print the list with the results, ignore a specific folder from future scans, as well as skip folders that are smaller than a user-defined value in MB.

To sum things up, Directory Hog comes packed with several handy and simple features for helping you examine the size of your computer folders and view the size of the largest file in a folder.
