diskusage

Without denying the benefits of constantly improving the quality of media and games, this also translates into needing more space to store them. If you reached the point where you receive notifications about low storage, you have the option to delete the data or move it to an external storage

diskusage is a lightweight console utility that provides a quick way to learn more about the size of the files and folders on your PC so that you can free space on your drives.

Since this is a console-based app, it does not require installation or configuration, but rather you know how to use commands. Obviously, the tool can easily display the total available space on your disk via the - all command. Take note that the command has the role of displaying folders whose usage size is not 0, so it is not the best choice for finding duplicates. If you are interested in identifying dupes, then you need to opt for other third-party tools.

On the other hand, it comes with a filter system that enables you to account solely for a certain type of file. For instance, if you are working with Word documents or Excel spreadsheets, then you can configure the filter to count for DOC and DOCX or XLS and XLSX. At the same time, you can learn the size of only certain folders.

Whether you are doing some maintenance and getting rid of obsolete files - especially the large ones - or you are about to hit the limit of storage capacity on your disk, you can consider giving diskusage a try. In the end the tool helps you learn more about how the space is used so that you can make educated decisions.
