It can often be very useful to get a rough idea of the memory consumption of a disk, for example, if you are running out of disk space then it’s time to check your system to free up some disk space. I recently came across with the cool software that quickly provides a tidy summary of the largest folders and files in a directory structure. Ridnacs is a very fast disk space usage analyzer for Microsoft Windows. It scans your local drives, network drives or single directories and produces a tree view with a percentage bar chart column.

This gives the user a quick and easy way to identify the largest directories and it’s very useful for cleaning up the disk. The result of the scan can be exported in different formats (XML, HTML, CSV, TXT), so it could be printed or compared with future scans.

- Files can be opened and deleted inside of RidNacs.
