A small utility written by the author for a friend that he decided to make available to Majorgeeks. The intent is to make it as simple as possible to free up hard drive space by searching for files that are taking up a lot of space.
The author wrote this utility because he found 2 problems with other programs:
It takes forever to scan the entire disk
It presents the results either in a huge unusable directory tree or a pie chart that makes me shrug (I already know "Users"/"Windows"/"Program Files" folder will be huge, don't need a utility for that)
This utility, scans the NTFS $MFT (file table) in a matter of mere seconds.
Then, with a special slick UI, it presents a list of "heavy" folders and their type (music/video/pictures)
It also allows filtering by drives or folder types and re-scanning that takes less than half the time.
This app is portable and requires no installation.
