Description
WinDirStat (Windows Directory Statistics) is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for Windows. On start up, WinDirStat reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views: - The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size, - The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away, - The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.
WinDirStat is available through winget as package ID WinDirStat.WinDirStat, with version 2.9.3. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.
