TreeSize Free is a handy utility that helps you identify at a glance the files and folders that take the most space from your disk(s). The program can show you the absolute sizes of each file and folder within the scanned folder, and their relative sizes compared with their parent folder. Besides, this tool can scan the folders of any mobile phone or portable devices connected to your PC.
Since the program supports shell integration, you can run it not only from its desktop shortcut, but also from the Windows contextual menu by right-clicking on the folder or file you want to be analyzed. By default, the program shows you a list of all the folders and files detected within the analyzed folder, sorted by size. You can then select the displaying unit among Kilobytes, Megabytes or Gigabytes, or simply let the program select the most appropriate unit for each element automatically. Moreover, you can rotate the values preceding the files/folders names among their size, allocated space, percentage or file count, or simply hide these values. You can also expand any of the listed folders up to 6 levels deep, or sort the list by file/folder name rather than by size.
In case all the mentioned features were not enough, TreeSize Free still has some additional ones to offer. One of the most helpful is, in my opinion, the so called "touch optimized user interface", which is especially useful when you launch the program on touchscreen devices (running MS Windows 8 or 10). You can also configure the number of decimals appearing in the files/folders sizes, set the program to treat the archive files like common folders, print the list as a report, and filter the listed files/folders by wildcards, regular expressions or their whole name.
Summing it all up, TreeSize Free will be a really helpful tool for you if you need to know which files and folders are taking the most space from your disk(s). Best of all, you can use it totally free of charge. As a tip, it is very advisable to run the program with administrative rights, so that it can read the information of all files and folders (even the system and protected ones).
