Finding out what’s eating your disk space
Today my computer slowed down to a crawl. I decided to open the Computer window and see what my disks were looking like. My C: drive was down to 300MB (not GB) free! Not a good state to be in. I’ve tried to be really careful about keeping my large files off this drive so I was very confused what was going on. Now rather than click on each folder to find out its properties I did a little googling and found the program WinDirStat. http://windirstat.info/
Short story: This is an awesome program and helped me free up 35GB.
Long story: I was able to find a program whose temp folder wasn’t getting cleaned up resulting in a lot of extra junk. There is no way I could have found this poking around (it was in a pretty obscure location) but it showed up right away in WinDirStat. And best of all the price is right! Free.
Check it out for yourself.
