    Windows directory size


    I have two computers: one is about 8 years old. The other a little over a year. Both are now running Windows 10.


    When I look at the Windows directory I see that in the new one its size is some 25 GB. The old one is about 200 GB.


    So I looked for a way to clean it. I found that there exists a Windows app called Disk Cleaner. But it cleaned only about 6 GB - and that is including "system" files.


    If I remember well the older computer had a Windows Pro version. But is that really an explanation for the huge difference?

    :)

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
