Looks very good; but unfortunately it looks as if the author hasn't developed it any further since spring 2023, possibly abandoning the project.

On Windows 10, at first glance it looked perfect however...

  • No window icons (minimise, restore/maximise, only close)
  • No navigation buttons (back, up etc, so if you drill down into a subfolder there's no easy way to go back)
  • Re-scans every time you change location e.g if you drill down into a folder then go back to the drive root it will rescan the whole drive again.

Although I liked the idea of making a list of things to delete and how the chart is colored by root folder this program is not practical to use compared to Filelight or WinDirStat or jDiskReport.

Probably a issue related to your system. I'm using it on Windows 11 right now

Great for a basic users quick inspection and cleanup, but isn't easy to drill down into the distribution of files, or any further metrics at all, really... The color allocation for the viz is buggy, as I consistently saw a single color for my entire directory tree.

Simple. Easy to understand and then take action. Helped me discard 140GB of crap that had been filling up my hard drive. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
