SpaceMonger is a free download (102.81K) that gives you a visual
representation of your harddrive much like a floor-plan of a building.
I really like this clever file management tool. It is avaliable from:

Publisher's description of SpaceMonger
From Sean Werkema:
SpaceMonger is a tool for keeping track of the free space on your computer. Each file or folder on a given drive is displayed in a box in the main window whose size is a relative comparison to all the other files in your system. So, for example, if the "Windows" box takes up 90% of the screen, the "C:\Windows" folder and all its sub-folders and files are taking up 90% of your "C:" drive.

What an awesome program. According to this, Blood Diamond.avi is my largest file.

Filelight is a Linux program with a similar function. It uses a pie-chart layout to show file sizes. This is a screenshot of a folder on the computer I use for file backups.
The middle circle represents My Documents and the green arc is My Pictures (305MB). The smaller red/orange arc to the upper right is My Music (120MB)

I had a chance to run SpaceMonger recently. I was working on a WinXP computer with an 80GB drive, and I couldn't figure out why it was full. (Turns out there were two iTunes folders, total of about 60GB)

SpaceMonger is a lot faster than I expected it to be and made it easy find out where the space went. It also made it easy to pick a chunk of files to remove so that I could get enough free space to run a defrag.

I thought it was surprisingly fast as well, which is a pleasant change (ironically, I've been waiting 3 minutes for iTunes to load)

Very useful program. I found a tmp file that was using 15 GB of space, that I probably wouldn't have found until i ran out of space....

I wanted to take a look at this
downloaded from above link
tried to save the exe. from the zip file in c/program files, but file wizard would not extract the files it just sets there saying extracting?

File is not corrupted is it? Try downloading it again, and if that doesn't work maybe try using WinZip?

I don't know why extract all didn't work so I opened it with winRAR it ask if I wanted to replace existing folder which I did created a short cut.


The program ran very quick and I found 5.98G of space in recyclers alone .
The program dose need a bit more info so one doesn't delete something they shouldn't.

Thanks for the info Moon
