Disk usage reporting?

Is there a way to find out which files and directories are occupying the most
space on a drive in Vista?

Thanks.

Hello hotmailuser,
Start menu > Computer > highlight the drive you want to see, right click, click Open.
You will see how many bytes used on each app. program. As to the file/folders listed in the drive window, highlight each one, right click, click Properties, you'll see how many bytes it occupies in the disk.

Re: Disk usage reporting?

WinDirStat shows where disk space is being used including a graphical display.

Just let the mouse pointer hover over the coloured areas to identify
different file types, here http://windirstat.info/
