If you are curious about the layout of the hard disk, you can of course use the Explorer. Instead, WizTree is an interesting alternative: it displays the hard disk layout in a visual way.
At the top of the window you will find an overview of the files and folders. However, these also have their own color. The box below contains a visual representation of the files. This option allows you to quickly see which files are taking up the most space on the disk.
You can use WizTree well if you want to clean up the computer. You can further customize the view based on a search option and filters, for example if you want to clean specific files or folders from the computer. The speed of the search function is particularly striking: files are quickly located and the makers claim to ‘bypass’ the operating system. Under the hood, the Master File Tabe read from the disk (similar to a table of contents).
It is useful to be able to export an overview of the files as a CSV file. You can then open this file in Excel.
You may use WizTree free of charge for home use.
