Mog	Created : 11 August 2009 Too Much Crap on your Harddrive? Visuaize it with WinDirStat
For those of you who use Linux, you may know of KDirStat, which is a handy hard drive visualization tool that lets you track down useless clutter, and see what files are being the biggest space wasters But what about Windows? Well, I have an old edition of a game mag that was talking about cleaning up your computer back when XP was the big thing, and i remembered that someone had made a great windows version of this program. It's called Windirstat, and it's completely free!

Jayenkai	Always too much! I've been using TreeSize Free since, um.. shrugs a Long long time, and it's been good enough. As nice as that blurry blobby globby blob thing is, I can't make head-nor-tails of it. I much prefer the list of filenames and directories, which indeed it has there. Much handier! .. 25Gb!?!?! Is that all?! That's not what my list looks like!!

Phoenix	I'll deal with this problem once it arrives. I'm not much of a hard drive wrecker, so that'll take a while. When I do find that there's not enough space left, then I'll know what to delete. And that's not a screenshot from Mog's PC, Jay. The careful observer would notice that it's in fact a German machine, whereas Mog is from the US. I'm pretty sure, at least. The careful observer would also notice that the same screenshot is available on the program's web site

Mog	Jay: The blobs are color coordinated blocks, look at the top right, it's more like a visual representation of where everything is.. I think the divisions are for folders, which i never care for it, just the folder data is enough! Phoe: Ireland, living in the US, so you're on- I speak english at least! Spare: But this is freeware

Jayenkai	Aaah, fair point I thought! 25Gb! WTF!?! Mog's too afraid to show off his real image. There's a great big red splodge where the porn directory goes

Mog	Jay: No comment on the porn directory! If you must see something, see my oddly formatted workstation! Mind you, one of the drives are offline, as we're having strange power issues and i took it out to ensure my backups won't asplode.

Jayenkai	That red yellow blue thing in the corner brings back memories of Domino Rally! Yeay!!

CodersRule	I'm scared to check the program; I have to copy all my files to my other laptop within a week, and I'm not sure if I want to know :X

CodersRule	I am in love with the pacman animation.
