Analyzing folders
You can save a lot of time by analyzing individual folders. If you want to analyze an individual folder, you
must enable Analyze folders. Click Select to open a tree structure of all your folders, from which you
can select just one folder by highlighting it and clicking OK.
Click Next to start the analysis.
The analysis may take a while depending on the size and usage of the selected drives or folders. As soon as
the analysis is complete, click Finish to display the results in the main window.
9.6.2. Analysis Results
Folder Structure
After the analysis, the TuneUp Disk Space Explorer main window opens. This is divided into two areas. In
the left-hand area of the window, there is a tree view of your drives and folders, the same as in Windows
Explorer. The data for the location selected in the tree view is displayed in the right-hand area of the window.
By default, the most recently analyzed drive is displayed first.
If you have decided against the analysis and clicked Cancel, the main window still opens, but you will not see
any information on the individual drives. You can also start an analysis from here, but only for one drive each.
Displaying Information
To display information in the right-hand area of the window, you can choose between several views by clicking
on the respective tab at the top edge.
In each view, you will receive a list, and you can sort the columns into ascending or descending order easily
by clicking on the column name. Sorting according to size in particular will give you a quick overview of your
biggest files.
The following views are available for displaying the disk space allocation.
Overview
The default view Overview is an ideal first step when cleaning up your drives. The most important
information from all of the other views is combined to give you a general overview.
You can always find information about the selected element in the folder tree at the top of the window,
in the upper area with a colorful background. The size and percentage of space used is displayed for
each drive.
If, however, a folder is selected, this area will show you the size of the folder including all its files and
subfolders. You also receive information on the creation date of the folder and when it was last used.
In the lower area of the window, you will see the following tables:
My Computer
With regard to the first table, My Computer represents an exception. Instead of an overview of the
largest files and folders, it will show the occupied space for each drive.
