I was also impressed with how fast it worked. One thing I really liked about it is the way it shows a graph of each file or directory in the tree view.

The free version gives you an easy way to see the size of your folders and drill down to see the size of subfolders and files. One is for Windows and the other is for OS X. If you use something that is based on Unix (like OS X), you can use the “du” command to figure it out, but that isn’t very user friendly if you want to deal with things through a GUI. Unfortunately, most operating systems don’t make it very easy to figure out where your big files are. The most productive way to clean your hard drive is to figure out which files are taking up the most space and start there. You can easily spend an hour deleting hundreds of files, only to discover that you’ve freed 50 MB of space off a 200 GB hard drive. However, in the digital world, not all files are created equal.
One is to go through, folder by folder, and clean out what you don’t need. There are two ways to clean out unnecessary information. No matter how big of hard drive you have, you’ll eventually be able to fill it. Of course now that is even less data that can fit on a single CD rom and many programs come on multiple DVDs now days. It seemed like a limitless amount of storage and I remember dreaming about what type of huge business you could run with that amount of storage space. There was a 540MB hard drive for sale that I found fascinating. I remember when I first started looking at computer catalogs back in the late 80s.
