WindDirStat - A great Disk space manager

Since a couple of months I've been using this great tool to quickly do a clean up on my disks at work, and today while I was trying to burn a DVD and needed to freee up some disk space, I remembered of this tool and also installed at home.

It's name is WinDirStat, and opensource tool hosted in sourceforge. It also shows the files as TreeMaps. Treemaps were invented by Ben Shneiderman, and they provide a compact visualization of directory tree structures. See the history of TreeMaps here.

Below is a screenshot of windirstat in action:



It's a great tool, very easy to use and will definitelly help you to get rid of those hidden old big files : )
