Directory sizes?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital,rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi,

I've got a PC with a lot of files (mostly digital images) that I need to
review, downsize, delete, etc.

Rather than go through File-Properties for each directory, does anyone know
of a simple tool that will who me my overall directory structure along with
the number of files and size of the directories all on a single screen (or
two)?

TIA---

On a single screen?

Lots of stuff scrolled by, I have a messy pc.

It didn't give me directory size, and I didn't pipe it to a printer or
file, so it's gone now, but you could try that and see how much shows
up there.

A free utility called 'diskdata'. Do a google search. It's a standalone, no
need for installation.

Take a look at this free Karenware utility.

I can't say enough good things about WinDirStat:

<http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/>

It will display you the contents of your disks and partitions
graphically, as a single, intuitive overview of colorful, rectangular
blocks. Each block represents a single file. The color of a block
represents the file type. The size of the block corresponds directly to
the relative size of that file (as compared to all the other blocks,...
I mean, files!) Not only that, but the blocks are lumped together
according to the directory structure where they live in. If you need a
more detailed view of some odd nooks and corners, you can zoom in and
out to your heart's content.

It's a really intuitive approach at viewing the contents of your disks,
and makes organizing and cleaning up the disk(s) a breeze. You can
easily see which directories, files and file types take up the most of
the space, and are in a dire need of some clean-up/archival attention.

See this screenshot to get a glimpse:

Actually it's a 30-day evaluation and does require
installation (ddsetup.exe). Nice program, though.
