Advanced Search Tool
 

Hey guys

I'm looking for a tool with a bit more functionality than normal Windows search. The other day I needed to do some cleanup on a machine that is used to store backups of user data and I wanted to know which files / folders were the largest, and what the file types were etc. Basically, if there were movies/music and other crap on the machine that I could delete.

Normal Windows search can't do what I want (or I don't know how to tell it to do that).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
healer

I used to use SequoiaView back when I tech-supported Windows machines. It gives a graphic view of each folder with a block representing the size of each file, and you can color-code the filetypes.

I'm pretty sure it is free.

I use SpaceMonger 1.4.0, which is still free.

Download

Click Free Software and Scroll Down.

It gives a nice view of the files and their relative size to the drive:
