SpaceSniffer is a graphical disk use analysis software with available filtering. It can break down display into individual folders and files. Uses a special "Treemap" to display disk use (a concept invented by Prof. Ben Shneiderman).
A page of tips and tricks for use is available.

I think i'll keep this one. WinDirStat is prettier but Spacesniffer is way faster and natively portable

Select the 'Path' to scan if you don't want a whole drive.
V1.1.3.1
Not true, it can scan directories. The option is right there on the startup menu.
V1.1.3.1
I like the program, but it can't scan selected folders: only whole drives. The start windows only give that possibility.
Scan folders is very important, because you don't need to scan all the whole drive, but the folders you need to scan.
I hope this will be fixed.
Amazing program indeed. I also agree that it may be the best in this category. Clean easy to understand interface that you can master without reading the manual.
i like this program and it's very useful;) i can see all my drive and which file is gig monster!
The best in the category ++
I love the dynamic box sizing.
I wish there was on option to use the Overdisk type chart display ( http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/programs/overdisk.html ) instead of the WinDirStat box display. I find the concentric circles much easier to sort through.
Thought it was goofy when I tried it, but it works really well, it's fast and even updates as you add/delete files. I found gigs of old stuff I had forgotten about and recovered the space, all in about 10 minutes.
Awesome application!
Until you try it you cannot really appreciate it... After all that applies to 99% of things in life ;)
