DESCRIPTION

RidNacs is a free and very fast disk space usage analyzer for Windows.

It scans your hard drives, network drives or single folders and displays the results in a multi-column tree view with a percentage bar chart column.

The familiar file manager interface gives the user an intuitive way to analyze and identify the largest files and folders.

This makes RidNacs to your best companion if you want to clean up the disk and you need to discover the space hogs on your hard drive.

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.

Besides of all these benefits RidNacs has an outstanding scan performance and it scores with a small memory footprint.

The RidNacs command can be installed to the 'Send To' context menu in 'Microsoft™ Windows Explorer' for most convenient usage. To do so, invoke RidNacs -i once.
