WizTree is a very fast disk space analyzer and search tool, scanning a single folder or your entire hard drive quickly and showing those files and folders using the most disk space. The program uses the NTFS Master File Table (MFT) feature in Windows to rapidly view files.
Note that this high-speed mode is limited to local, NTFS-formatted drives. The program must do a (much slower) scan of FAT-formatted or network drives for analysis.

Just downloaded the latest portable version, and it asks for admin permission. That is a no no for me.

I don't know if this is the case in Windows 11, but in Windows 10 the new "Windows 11 style" UI seems noticeably laggier.

Noticed the same thing here, I reverted back personally, and frankly this "change" is enough to keep me from updating to future versions. The dev is very good about these things though, so maybe he'll revert these changes back if he knew there were issues, he's somewhat active (I think) on these here forums. |
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

Awesome application! |
DriveSort shows you an entire drive or a selected sub-folder by what are usually the most important criteria: the largest and newest files. For speed and simplicity, DriveSort displays only the top 100 files that match your sort criterion.
Most disk space tools show only folder sizes until you "zoom in"; DriveSort is a shortcut to show which specific files are usually of greatest interest.

I recommend using Everything (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1479) instead and organize results by date. This program runs a little faster than Everything's initial drive search and then sort, but solves the issue of not being able to resize the DriveSort the window, not being able to change the top files to 50 or 200, or the ability to update automatically with new file changes. |
Xinorbis is a powerful data analyzer that provides an intelligent view of drive or directory contents. The program makes visible the contents, structure, file distribution, with a mix of graphs, tables and tree displays.
Unlike other space usage programs that focus on just tracking down space hogs, Xinorbis helps deliver a better overall understanding of your machine's data. The program includes feature-rich report generation with a variety of export options and ability to compare how contents have changed between reports.

Thanks Guido76. It's still labelled as 8.0.5 but it's a new version and working here too

It doesn't display some German special characters correctly (e.g. ß), and more importantly, it shows a "buy the pro version" nagscreen upon exit and opens the product homepage in the system's standard browser.

Emka, you're right. Some problems with the French language too. And a very annoying nag-screen, and automatic launch of the browser. Too bad! |
WinDirStat provides a visual and statistical representation of disk usage, as well as cleanup tools. It reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views: directory list, extension list, and tree map. Its built-in cleanup actions include open, show properties, delete as well as user-defined ones.
Note: The 98/ME version works on all versions of Windows but does not support Unicode. The 2K/XP version only works on WinNT and higher.
Alternatively, WinDirStat Portable and X-WinDirStat are also available.

Very handy for visually finding and backing up the file caches on a friend's computer before reloading the os. You can quickly see which user accounts have files and which are unused.

I've been using this for years, sure it's missing some features and rough around the edges but it's fully functional and runs quite fast. A shame the developer decided to cease operations |

Great program! I used to use JDiskReport, but I find the interface of this one nicer and more intuitive. You can see many levels (subdirectories, and their subdirectories) at the same time. Perfect for immediately getting an overview of what's taking up space on your hard drives.

Very nice, FAST and convenient program. Visualization is superb. |
AutoCompress intelligently compresses/decompresses drive content based on whether the compression will actually save space. For example, JPG and MP3 already have built-in compression, while text and spreadsheets frequently reduce to 50% or less of their original size. The program can also compress based on age or size, scanning all folders recursively under the provided folder (by default c:\).
The program can also disable compression based on the reverse criteria: since files that are already compressed take more processor power to decompress twice, this program can speed up your computer.
This program requires an NTFS-formatted drive.

Extremely helpful. I can only hope that future versions of Windows integrate something like this into the operating system automatically. |
TreeSize Free shows you instantly which files or folders are taking up the most space on your harddisk without using heavy system resources or reading the drive extensively.
Alternatively, TreeSize Free Portable is pre-configured to be portable, automatically adjusts paths and is stealth.

Stealth: ? | No. Creates an empty JAM Software\TreeSize Free folder in %AppData%. If the context menu integration is enabled/disabled, settings will be written to that folder. |

Download the "Portable" ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch TreeSizeFree.exe. Optionally, to disable automatic update check on start-up:
