Where’d My Hard Drive Space Go?

Here’s a software quickie for everyone.
If you’ve ever looked at your hard drive and wondered, “where the heck did all my gigabytes go?” then JDiskReport is just what you need.
It’s a freeware java app (that’s actually available on OS X & Windows) that gives you a very detailed view of where your hard drive space is going. It scans your system - or any directory you specify - and presents the results in an easily readable pie chart. It even breaks down the file types in each dir with the percentage of space each is eating up.
This app is awesome for any periodic cleaning of your files you may do (or may NEED to do).

#2 nick santilli says:Tom - thanks for the link. That app looks identical to the windows app, Sequoia View. Pretty useful.
#3 carlo says:hi, my name is carlo and i have some questions about my hard drive space. About 2 weeks ago i had a virus and did system recovery to my computer. i had 3gb of space before the recovery and 3gb after it. Even though i had the same amount of space i coudn’t find files i had before (ie. games). But when i am virus scanning i can see those files (i had before) but when i use the search the start menu it can’t locate those files. I even tried JdiskReport. It said i only used up 20.5 gb of space but when i look at my presario drive it says i have 3gb of space which i should have about 14gb cause the total drive space was 34gb. Please answer back and help me.
