Description
Ever wondered what's using up so much space on your hard disk? Disk Usage
Analyser will help you find out. This tool provides a familiar Windows
Explorer view of your system which includes the size, space used, slack space
and file count of each folder including sub folders. It displays a pie chart
or bar chart of the selected folder highlighting the big folders or files. Use
the explorer or charts to find those big files or the wasted space. The
display updates automatically following any file system changes making it a
simple and effective monitoring tool. Includes file filters, customisable html
reports, save chart to jpg tool, shell extension tools to build a shortcut
collection for quick access to frequented folders and to quickly analyse a
folder from Windows Explorer. Works with all local fixed and removable drives
as well as remote network drives and mapped drives.

Startup
Disk Usage Analyser always starts with folder size calculation switched off.
This avoids the potential problem of a lot of files causing an "out of memory"
error and making it unusable. You can switch on folder size calculation any
time by selecting the "Folder Sizes" button on the toolbar.

Explorer
Using the application is straight forward and intuitive. If you're
comfortable with Windows Explorer you'll have no trouble here. The explorer
right click menu is fully functional. Most function keys operate as expected
with the two exceptions I've found: the Delete key doesn't work, you have to
select Delete from the context menu. If you hold down the Shift key the
selected files are completely deleted, otherwise the files will go to the
Recycle Bin. Ctrl-A for Select All doesn't work, you have to use Shift-End or
Ctrl click the required files.
