Clean Up Your HDD/SDD: Part I

There are a lot of reasons for which you'll need a control over your disk space. Nowadays the whole situation over disk usage is transparent but there are still some applications and programs which can take plenty of your free space without your knowledge. Let's start with our 1st tool.

WinDirStat - Disk usage statistics viewer (FREE)

WinDirStat installation is quite small only about 631 KB. You can download it from http://windirstat.info. This program is free open source diagnostic tool and it's published under GNU Public License. When you start it, it reads all your drives at once and present it as a directory list with percentage stats and a treemap.
A treemap is a bread and butter of this tool. Each file is shown as a colored rectangle. Directories and subdirectories are again making rectangles and of course each drive make's up a rectangle. The colors are representing the extension type of the file. In the next post we will show you that invisible storage eaters and how to disable them for good.
