DirSize is a command line tool to show you how much disk space is used and wasted in each directory.
Its uses include:
-Finding space hogs on a network
-Finding multiple copies of a single application on a server
-Finding which directories could be archived to save space (typically those that contain lots of small files)
-Finding where most of the disk space is used
-Finding applications to remove before installing a new one
-Previewing the benefits of a smaller Cluster size
-Generating daily, weekly or monthly reports showing how the disk space distribution has changed. You can easily generate html, tab- or comma-delimited output to feed directly into your favorite -Spreadsheet for further analysis
Showing you the complete directory tree
User Benefits
-New! DirSize can now ignore the sizes of offline files.
-The directory tree can be limited to just those branches showing more than a specified amount e.g. 20 MB. This is very useful to find out who is hogging space on a network.
-Displays Windows 95 long FileNames.
-Uses international thousands separator based on country information.
-For the drive, displays cluster size, free space, used space and Capacity.
-For each directory shown, displays total space used, wasted space (either as a percentage or as an actual value) and directory name. If the directory has sub-directories, it also shows the combined total -this is very useful for finding the complete size of applications before deletion or backup.
-For the files examined, displays total used space, total wasted space and the cluster size used (the user can specify a size other than the drives actual cluster size so that they can see how much space would be wasted under a different configuration).
-Rounds up file sizes to the cluster size AND includes the size of each directory for the most accurate size information.
-Fully scrollable output (both up and down).
