Whats using my hard drive space?

gnolan · 2009-08-20 17:35:32

I'm hoping someone can recommend me a small program (or alternate way) that will show me what exactly is taking up the space on my hard drive. I don't have an awful lot of programs on my computer but also not a lot of space. Would appreciate some advice

Or JDiskReport from JGoodies. You need java installed but it gives very good graphical reports on folders.
