SpaceSniffer

SpaceSniffer is a program that shows you how busy your computer's hard drive is and gives you a complete overview of its contents in an easy-to-understand and visual manner.

This program has a very concise interface that makes it simple and easy to use. The first time you run it, it prompts you to select the disk whose overview you want to see and starts scanning it. The duration of the scan depends on the size of the disk, its load and speed. When it has finished scanning the disk, SpaceSniffer makes a visual diagram, each block of which is a folder or file stored on the disk.

The size of a block depends on the size of its corresponding folder/file. If you click on a block, you can view the contents of the corresponding folder. For better visibility, files and folders in the scheme are displayed in different colors. If the standard color scheme does not suit you, you can change it in the settings by selecting colors for files, folders, free and unrecognized space, etc.

SpaceSniffer allows you not only to browse, but also to copy, move and delete files. What's more, the program also knows how to scan disks for files with a certain extension using filters. This way, you can easily find out what and how much space is on your drive in a matter of minutes. It is important to note that this program can show an overview of several disks in one window. To scan another disk you have to choose "New" from the "File" menu or just press Ctrl+N and select the desired disk in the window that appears.
