SpaceSniffer is a very smart program that can be used for free! This program shows how the folders and files in the computer are arranged. Like looking into my computer transparently. In particular, you don't need installation and you can use it anytime, anywhere by putting it on the USB.
The core of the program is 'Treemap', and you can see how much space is a large file or folder. This concept of Treemap is made by Professor Ben SHNEIDERMAN and is used for permission. Thanks to this, you can understand the complex folder structure very intuitively!
SpaceSniffer is really fast and easy to use. You can easily move the file with drag and drop, and create a text report in the format you want. The folder and file structure can be seen at a glance, and you can explore it like a web browser. In addition, it also supports the right click menu, so you can use it as a familiar way to handle files in Windows.
The filtering function is also powerful, and if you enter a simple condition, you can see only the files or folders I want. And you can tag the file in four colors, so you can manage important files by color. You can also see the same storage media in many ways, so you can only filter it separately.
Besides, this program is really comfortable because I can customize the screen shape, color, and operation methods! You can search freely while scanning, and thanks to the smart cache engine, you can see various screens with one scan. If you want to scan a certain area in more detail, you can do additional scans without stopping the main scan.
When a change occurs in the file system, the SpaceSnifer reacts immediately. For example, if you delete or add a file, you can always keep the latest state by informing it. You can even scan a hidden data stream of NTFS.
Another good thing is that it is managed with a neat XML file without disturbing the registry. You don't have to install it, you can use it immediately if you have a running file. And most of all, all of these features are free! Of course, donations are always welcome.
This simple and powerful SpaceSnifer will be a very useful friend when cleaning up the disk space!
