WizTree

The first thing to do when running out of space on your hard drive is to identify the space hogs and get rid of them, if possible. WizTree is one of the apps that specializes in such tasks.

The main window is meant to assist both beginners and experts into analyzing full drives or chosen folders and assessing their state. You can even apply filters that make it possible for you to exclude or include certain files from the scan, to ensure the results match your expectations.

One the examination is complete, you get the possibility to sort the files according to their size, obviously, to find the largest ones and to remove them, if you want to free up space.

The default view relies on colors to make the largest files be very visible within the lower section of WizTree, and you can customize these colors as you see fit. You can assign different colors to each file type you frequently work with, such as videos, audio tracks, images, archives, Office documents and so on.

Alternatively, you can organize files by their last modification date, so you can detect the oldest and the newest items in your directory.

Another way to enjoy the functions of WizTree is to integrate its features within Windows Explorer, so you can just right-click a folder and have the app explore the size of its files within seconds.

WizTree can come in handy whenever you can check your folders and find the items that occupy the most space on your hard drives. You can export the result to CSV to review it at a later time or compare it with another file (note that a specialized third-party app is needed for this operation).
