WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for Microsoft Windows. It shows disk, file and directory sizes in a treemap format and allows users to drill down into any directory to view more detailed information. It also provides a list of the largest files and folders and helps users to quickly identify and remove unnecessary files. The app uses graphical representations of the file system to help users visualize the contents of their hard disks, USB drives, and other storage devices. It also allows users to delete files and clear up disk space. WinDirStat can be used to identify and delete duplicate files, clean up temporary files, and delete unwanted programs.
Color scheme is sober and unobtrusive: better user interface
Makes scanning network drives easy.
TreeSize works in a similar way, as WinDirStat and its user interface look better and are faster.
WinDirStat only displays files visually without trees
It is very fast compared to WinDirStat! And it displays the same way.
The same but it takes 10 seconds not 10 minutes.
Showing the directory size is not enough for me. I need to see the sizes of the files in that large directory. And WinDirStat does it on the first page.
It does what WinDirStat does, but the user interface is much clearer.
It is very fast and has a genuine way of presenting where your hard disk space is being used.
is compatible with the Linux Terminal
Visually it looks exactly like Windirstat.
Discontinued The program does not seem to be updated anymore. The latest version, 2.13, released in July 2012, is fully functional and can still be downloaded from the official website.
With its pie chart, it remains a great tool to have a complete view of your disk.
It uses treemaps and therefore provides a good alternative to windirstat for Linux users. It is really only fully compatible with KDE, and installing it will require you to install a good part of the KDE desktop, so gnome users should consider using GD Map instead.
It is very similar to Windirstat.
It works much like WinDirStat, although it doesn't have a directory tree and you can't really delete anything from the GDM itself, but it shows all the necessary file paths so you can do it easily.
Because it uses treemaps. K4DirStat is a better choice for those who use KDE, as it also allows for file deletion, etc.
Discontinued The official website is no longer available. The latest version, 1.3, released in June 2006, can still be downloaded from Softpedia.
Clean interface. Easy to find huge files by clicking on directories.
