Can't remember the name of this program -analyzes disk space

by yensid4him - 5/23/09 10:18 AM

I have used a program in the past which was a small, executable file which runs and analyzes the file size of ALL the files on your PC, and then displays the results graphically on your screen as different size squares. The larger the file size, the larger the square. It's an AMAZING way to figure out what specific files are taking up so much space on your computer.

But I can't seem to remember the name of it! Can anyone help me!? I am in a rush this weekend to get my computer files backed up to DVD-DL before leaving for vacation and need to find the most efficient way to fit them onto the DVDs.

Thanks!

It's great you have found your program's name.
The first time I read your description, I can only recall Glary Utilities. What you described is exactly what File Analysis of Glary Utilities do. Theses tools like Sequoia View and Glary Utilities are really necessary for computers.
