How to find used disk space
Saturday, January 26th, 2008I recently needed to find where all the disk space had gone on a Windows server. I remembered Steve Gibson mentioning some products on Security Now. He recommended using Space Monger. This software scans a drive and gives you a visual representation of where your disk space is. It allows you to zoom into any folder for more information.
Version 2.x is now a premium product but version 1.4 is still free. The 1.4 UI looks old but it still does a great job. The download is small and the exe doesn’t require installation. I highly recommend using this tool if anyone needs to find where all your disk space went on a Windows machine.
On the Linux side there are 2 tools that do similar things. Gnome has included a tool called Disk Usage Analyzer and KDE has the tool built into Konqueror.
