Years ago, I had a nifty little program that would display your hard drive space used as a pie chart, and then you could determine what was using up your space and delete what was not needed. I thought I still had it archived, but cannot seem to find it. Might have lost it years ago when a drive crashed. Any thoughts on what it might have been? It was very handy at the time. Meow?

Don't think so. This was a much simpler program. Like I said, displayed the disk contents in a pie chart. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Might be useful, but not the old program I am trying to find again. Thanks. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Take a look at this freeware version of a disk cleaner I've used for a few years. Very through scanning of the hard drive. Breaks down disk usage and type of file. http://hi.ylcomputing.com/ |

Is it this one http://hdgraph.com/? Looked interesting, but after downloading it and trying to run it, it says that you need to have .net 4.5 installed. Since I am running Win 7 systems as lean as possible, I have avoided any .net installations on my own volition. Wonder if the one he is looking for is a bit simpler, from the sounds of the age of it, I'd doubt it'd require .net to be installed, but who knows? |

Is it this one http://hdgraph.com/? I ran into the same problem.....I think this might be an updated version of what I used to have. I have .net on my rig, but I think it wants a newer version, and I was having problems updating it. Have been too busy to play with it further, but I shall try to get it working.
