Program that shows where data is stored?

Go to solution Solved by helping,

you're thinking of WinDirStat

 

I prefer Treesize though.

Treesize uses pie charts, not sure about WinDirStat, but I do know it has a graphical representation of space.

So a while back I remember seeing this program that views your disk drive, then creates a pie chart with how much data is allocated where. I'm looking for this or something similar because I am running very low on storage space on my ssd and I would like to find what files are eating the most storage I can part with. I can't use add and remove programs because most stuff is stored on my HDD. If anyone could point me towards something helpful that would be awesome. :D

That is definitely the program, windirstat. It wasn't a pie chart I remembered it was that blocky graph or whatever it is. Any case I had a whole 800mb left on my ssd before. After going through some of the files I now have 25.8gb! It was mainly a bunch of junk or some backups of stuff I no longer had or need. Like iphone backups (don't have an iphone any more) and some other misc stuff. I feel better about my ssd now. :D
