In any event, you can drill down into individual folders to see the relative sizes of everything in them, which is extremely useful. I’m not sure if this is corrected in 2.1, but it would not surprise me if it is. However, beware that Vista’s junction points are not handled correctly, so you’ll end up seeing things like Music and My Music as duplicates. This makes it easy to spot large offenders. What SpaceMonger (1.4) provides is something like this (click for full size) SpaceMonger belongs in your c:Util folder along with other goodies (update: these are now kept in a DropBox or Copy folder): I sometimes still miss my old MS-DOS dirtree command, though (at least I think that’s what it was called). This app is awesome for finding out why you suddenly have no disk space. In the course of cleaning up hard drives, I religiously use SpaceMonger, which is (was) free and shows you everything broken out by proportionally sized rectangles ( SpaceMonger 2.1 is not free, looks improved, but I haven’t tried it yet). On a side note I’m really looking at getting an HP MediaSmart Windows Home Server like the one ScottHa got a while back, but they’re a bit old at this point so I figure newer models with more RAM and larger built-in HDDs must be coming soon. I’m in file cleanup mode tonight as my laptop hard drive is consistently nearly full lately.
