GetFolderSize is a free utility that can be used to analyze the disk space on your hard disk. The program will scan your hard drive, USB drives, folders, etc and show you a detailed report about which folder is taking the amount of space. People who have multiple hard drives and often forget what they have been copied here and there they are certainly going to benefit.

In implementing the program, just select the drive or folder you want to scan and click the button ‘Scan’. Then, scan the drive and present you with a detailed report that shows each folder size, percentage of disk space in the folder you are using, the number of files / folders within the unit, etc. The program has a lot of customizable options. You can expand all the folders for more detailed information using the click of a button. You can see the size of the folder or disk in bytes, KB, MB or GB. You can even use it to find a file, and even delete files or send them to the recycle bin if you wish. The program also integrates with the context menu and you can directly call the program from the Explorer context menu. The report generated can be printed or can be exported to text or csv.
The interface may seem a bit complicated at first but if you want to know quickly what programs are taking up too much space on your computer, give this a shot. The program is freeware and runs on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and XP. A portable version of the program is also available.
