Comment on I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help?

  Windirstat

    WizTree seems to be quite a bit faster, with almost identical look&feel

    Windirstat is way, way, way slower. WizTree scans my entire drive in literal seconds.

      WizTree scans my entire drive

      It doesn’t, really. It’s already indexed. It’s a feature of the NTFS file system. It’s the same way Everything Search can find files almost instantly, and what Windows Search used back when it worked properly in the Windows XP days.

      Why Microsoft stopped using that and switched to whatever the current useless search function uses escapes comprehension, though it probably has something to do with them wanting to shove Bing results and other spam in there.

  This is the answer, you can actually visually see what’s taking the storage space.
