Free up disk space

TuneUp Disk Space Explorer
Introduction
The capacity of modern data storage devices such as hard drives and memory
cards has increased tremendously over the last several years. Astonishingly, we
users somehow always manage to fill even the newer, larger drives to their
maximum capacity - in the past, no one would have dreamed of gathering 20 GB
of files. Now, even drives with capacities of 250 GB or more are quickly filled to
the brim.
Obviously, this development hasn't exactly made it easier to keep track of these
huge quantities of data. With so many files and nested folders, how is it possible
to determine where the most space is being taken up?
This is where the new TuneUp Disk Space Explorer comes into play: the
powerful module helps you to quickly find all of the files and folders that are
taking up your valuable disk space. These files can then easily be transferred to
other drives, archived to CD/DVD or simply deleted to gain free disk space.
Analysis of Your Drives
When you start TuneUp Disk Space Explorer, a wizard appears that lets you
select the drives to be used in the search for extremely large files.
The wizard shows the total size for each drive, and the free space available. It is
especially important to analyze the drives that have little free space remaining.
Make your selection and click Next to start the analysis.
TuneUp Disk
Space Explorer
will analyze the
selected drives.
