How to find used disk space

I 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.

    I recommend using the free windirstat. The 1.2 version still has a zipped version which requires no install. See the features listed on their website.
