Graphical Disk Usage Utility

Something that can be quite handy to have is a graphical disk usage utility. This is a great way in figuring out which files or folders are sucking up all of your disk space. A good open source disk utility that you can use is KDirStat for Linux and WinDirStat for Windows.

The program gives you a graphical representation of what files and folders are taking up your disk space. The bigger sized boxes are files or folders that are using more space and the smaller ones are using not as much. If you click on the respective box it will take you to the file or folder that is in association with that box. This tool can be quite useful when you are cleaning up disk space on your computer. Give it a good look if this sounds like it could be helpful.
