Software that shows a "map" of what the largest folders are on a HD

A few months ago, I came across a software that showed your harddrive as a pie chart, and you could easily see what folders were taking up the most disk space.

I'm sure there are a few tools out there that do this, does anyone here know the name of one? I need to clear out my hard drive, but I don't know what's taking up most of the space.

Hover the mouse over the folder.

Diskeeper has that feature irc.

Wasn't able to find it in Diskeeper, I'll give Treesize a go.

Diskdata up to v2.2 was free, had colourful pie charts and graphs as well as a detailed list of folder usage etc. The current version isn't free tho

Hi,

This is totally free but does require Java (you probably have it installed for your web browser anyway

)

Its hard to beat the freeware Scanner by Steffen Gerlach

Its a little bit slow to get started but once it has mapped the drive it gives a useful pie chart display of directory size and you can zoom in easily to find the big space hoggers.
