   Simple and does the job

   I've been using Disk Inventory X for many years now. It's very convenient when you want to clean up your mac's hard drive.

   👍 Pros:    Free|Super simple

Folder Size (by Brio) mentions (9)

• Stable Diffusion Taking Up Too Much Space

  I would just google "folder size" and download whatever doesn't look too sketchy. https://foldersize.sourceforge.net/, for example. (I assume you are on Windows.). Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there a way I can delete empty folders with a command?

  Afaik Windows Explorer can’t sort folders by size for some stupid reason. Just files. This program adds a little extra window that lets you sort folders by size: http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/ Hope that helps in some way :). Source: almost 2 years ago

• What's wrong with my storage?

  There is a resource I used on my previous laptop that showed where the abnormally large files were, found on SourceForge. The culprit for me was the folder within "Windows (old)" that had all of the outdated parts of Windows from each time there was an update. Holyshit, there was a 500 gb internal storage and, like you, only 10 GB free space. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How far it's fallen. Bring back my dog.

  I still use this ancient thing called Foldersize does all I want it to do. I can easily find the biggest files on various drives. Source: about 2 years ago

  I've know nothing about this app: http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/. Source: over 2 years ago

• I have deleted pretty much everything off of my Macbook and yet it says there is 94.26 GB of “Other Volumes” taking up space that I can’t access. Does anyone know how to fix?

  Try this, Disk Inventory X: http://derlien.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• So Im having trouble with storage. I have an external drive but I noticed my M1 iMac with 256GB of storage was getting pretty full. Upon further investigation it seems as though my user folder is 202GB, yet when I open up the subfolders in my user folder they don't add up. Any ideas?

  For checking which files are large (like windirstat) I'd recommend Disk Inventory X: https://derlien.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to run a report of all files in a volume/folder by file type?

  Your comment just reminded me of Disk Inventory X (http://derlien.com) - it might do the trick? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Share your greatest free tools

  WinDirStat (Windows) or Disk Inventory X (Mac) - These are similar to Space Sniffer. Helpful for getting a visual overview of your disk usage, and cleaning up the disk. Source: about 2 years ago

• Out of local storage -- split between iCloud and local files -- "Documents" taking up more space than capacity of drive. How do I clear space, when I can't even identify the files?

  Not so beautiful but good working free alternative for Daisy Disk is Disk Inventory X. Source: about 2 years ago
