Check Disk Space Usage of Folders & Sub-Folders With SizeOnDisk

Most users rely on disk space analyzers to find out files and folders which are taking too much space, however, they can also be used to keep a check on folders which attempt to surreptitiously start filling up disk space with junk data. SizeOnDisk is portable disk usage analyzer for inspecting disks and folders for disk space usage. You can either choose a disk to completely analyze the space distribution or pick up any folder to check size of underlying sub-folders and files.

To begin analyzing the disk or folder, just launch the application and hit Choose folder to specify either a disk or a folder. Upon selection, it will start analyzing the space usage and listing down folders and files in main window.

The main window, along with files and folders for drive/folder, shows number of sub-folders, files, total file size, and disk size in columns against each listed folder and file.
