Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. Folder Size will analyze your hard drives and display the sizes of your folders and files so that you can easily check the distribution of your disk space. So you can easily figure out which files or folders have filled up your drive space as Folder Size will also scan the sizes of all the subfolders. Bellow are 5 Best Folder size display utilities, I personally used all this application and found very good result.
1- Folder Size:
Best application to shows sizes of folders seen in Explorer windows. In Windows 2000 and XP shell extensions can augment Explorer’s columns to show you Folder Sizes right where they should be. Its explorer is not as customizable In Windows Vista and higher like windows7 and 8, as shown in the screenshot. So try the new beta client for Vista and higher that opens pop-up Folder Size windows that track open Explorer windows. Download free from: www.foldersize.sourceforge.net
