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 few 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 TuneUp Disk Space Explorer
When you start
comes in. In a short space of time, this
efficient module helps you quickly find files and folders that are occupying valuable disk
space. These files can then be easily transferred to other drives, archived to CD/DVD or
simply deleted to gain free disk space.
Analysis of your drives
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.
You can also restrict the analysis to individual folders This method saves considerable time
because the entire drive does not have to be analyzed.
