WinDirStat is a program that allows you to find disk space hogs at a glance. It achieves that by displaying a drive, drives or directories in a treemap that assigns bigger areas to bigger files and directories. Making those areas visually separate by coloring and other means allows you to see literally at a glance what the space hogs are and where to dig deeper. The directory tree is simultaneously shown as a tree list and as a treemap. One can effortlessly gain an impression of the proportions on the hard disk(s). Major features - Three views: Directory Tree, Treemap, and Extension - Duplicate file detection - Built-in cleanup actions including Open, Delete, Show Properties - User-defined cleanup actions (command line based)

WinDirStat is a program designed to help users analyze and manage disk space efficiently. It provides a visual representation of file sizes and directory structures through a treemap interface, where larger files and directories are displayed as bigger rectangles. This makes it easy to identify space hogs at a glance.

Key Features:

  • Three Views: Directory Tree, Treemap, and Extension views for comprehensive analysis.
  • Duplicate File Detection: Identify and manage duplicate files to free up storage.
  • Built-in Cleanup Actions: Perform actions like Open, Delete, or Show Properties directly from the interface.
  • User-defined Cleanup Actions: Customize cleanup processes using command-line based actions.
  • Open Source: Available under the GNU Public License version 2 (GPLv2).

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for users who need to optimize disk space on Windows systems. WinDirStat provides clear insights into file and directory sizes, enabling efficient organization and storage management. By highlighting large files and directories, it helps users make informed decisions about which files to keep or delete, ultimately saving time and improving system performance.

WinDirStat can be installed via winget for easy setup.
