WinDirStat, great way to clean up your harddrive.

I just downloaded this software and it's working out great. It kind of made a map over my harddrive and showed me which folders had the biggest amount of files and stuff so I ended up with a 30GB lighter harddrive. I suggest you guys try it out as well.

Funky. I so need to clear out my harddrive... I only have 18GB left.

[Bryan]

It's gonna mess up my porn stash!

I had ~4GB left, when I had gone through parts of my harddrive I had 38GB left. It makes everything a lot easier.

I can monitor my hard-drive manually.
I know where all the files are located and what they are used for.
My computer is over 5 years old with Microsoft XP home edition and only has 512 MB of RAM with an Intel Pentium 4 Processor. Yet I still have a lot more system resources than many people who have newer computers. These people do not make good use of them.

Did you read my MBTI thread before? XXXJ types probably won't need this tool whilst it's a gold mine for XXXP.
J's are a lot more organized and as you say that you know where all your files are located you're probably a J.

[Awesome Man]

cool, even though i have a empty 280gb hard disk, i'll use it to clean my other default hard disk because im usually too lazy to change C:/ to E:/ when i'm installing something.

Can you guess what kind of files the different colors represent?
And also, what directory is the area marked with the white box?

I have no clue and I will take a wild guess and I will suggest that it is your C drive. Also, I will check out your thread to learn what that jargon means.

2 minutes later edit: Ah, I see. Yeah, that test was posted on Smashboards quite some time ago. If I remember correctly, I took it and got INTJ. Most people on Smashboards got INTJ. Very different results here.

Wrong
It is a folder, not a drive.


INTJ is supposed to be quite a small group, however the percentage would probably be a lot higher if there was some kind of thing connecting them, such as the forum. What is it about?

[Andromeda]

It cleaned 15,9 gt wow o.O

Did you use some autoclean thing?
I did all my cleaning manually but I used it as a map.

[Andromeda]

No. I cleaned it manually because i had some important files and i was feared that they would be deleted

[Raiyne]

Lmao... I discovered I still had NFS:MW on my harddrive.

I only managed to free 7gb... probably because I couldn't bear to delete most of my porn collection.

Okay, I don't even know if it has any automatic feature.. xD

I found my old Vanguard Beta folder which was 16GB, now it is DEAD. : D

Thanks a lot, i thought i kept really close watch of my hard drive, but you can only do so much even when you place all your files accordingly. I cleared up 40 gigs from my hard drive.

All that i have to say is that even if you think you keep a close watch, you should still download this anyways.

[shadowsworn]

Does anyone know what Recycler is? Can I delete it?

oh also, my c drive has 100 or so gigabytes on it, and my hard drive has 140 gigabytes on it. Yet when I started I only had like 500 mb free.

Where did the other 40 gigabytes go? *confused*

and I managed to lose 40 gigs somewhere . I can't figure out where they went.

I'd advise you not to delete files your unsure if you need them or not, but go ahead if you're feeling lucky.

I'm going to have to get you an external hard drive for your birthday..... it's time to upgrade deimos

I checked later, and it's actually a storage for stuff you've deleted from recycle bin. Stuff isn't supposed to show up there, but maybe all the reformats done on this computer messed up how it's supposed to work.
