I was looking at my drive space and noticed that I was missing around 20 Gigs of space. The properties listed the drive as 110 Gigs and my folders under that drive only listed around 90. So I ran across treesize at download.com. Well turns out I had a folder on there called found.000 that was like 17 Gigs. It just had some old stuff I thought I had deleted but was still hanging around. Just thought it was a slick little program to find what was taking up space and wondered if anybody else has had it happen?

Thats a pretty neat little program...

windirstat is another option



also a portable version around

Cool, i once found that fraps had recorded about 35Gb of movies and whatnot lol. I had the movie button set as P, so when i was typing stuff to my team it'd come on

System restore can become a massive drive space hog if you use it. I kept losing 5 to 10 gigs of space on my work computer and found that was the case.

That's why there's a setting to let you set how much space it uses.

Are these kinds of things that ccleaner would catch? I know it got like a gig of ridiculous windows junk off of my laptop.

Personally, I don't use window's system restore. I managed to catch a full (and FREE) version of Acronis True Image 7.0. I think it was some special offer...with a very limited download window.

Cloning hard drives is one of the best ways to restore things exactly...

I used to use a similar program back in the day...I think it was called drive space explorer.

Nope, my hard drives are just clogged with all the stuff i expected

ccleaner didn't catch this. I run ccleaner about once a week.

This (re)brought to my attention that I only have a 30GB drive...


I mean obviously I know the size of my laptop hardrive but I just don't think of this kind of thing on a daily basis...

I was at something like 28.5 GB full or something like that, I went though all my stuff and deleted a lot of data (10 GB) that I had been needlessly hoarding...

Holy crap, nice program, also this reminded me to run ccleaner and it removed 5 gigs of crap! Space is tight on a raptor 150...

lol i was just gonna suggest the same prgrm. i used it and found that i had accidentally made 11GB worth of useless system restores. handy little program, i use it on my u3 drive as well.

It's not as pretty as WinDirStat, but I find it easier to interpret. The directories are labeled on the graphic. All three work.
