Quick Overview

Disk Hog allows the user to find the disk hog on their system by computing the space used in the selected directory and all sub-directories below that directory.

To use Disk Hog simply select a drive in the Drive combo box on the Analyze Page, then select a directory on that drive by double clicking on one in the list shown.  Confirm the selection by looking at the Selected Directory shown in blue.  Press the Disk Usage button and wait for the computations to complete.  Once complete, the Results page will be available for selection.


Analyze Page

Selected Directory

The selected directory shows which directory will be analyzed for its disk use.

Disk Size

The Disk Size label shows the size of the currently selected drive.

Disk Free

The Disk Free label shows the space remaining on the currently selected drive.

Disk Usage

The Disk Usage button will start disk use computations on the directory shown in blue under the Selected Directory label.  Once computations are complete the Results page tab will be visible.  In order to compute disk space, the sub-directories below the current directory need to be read and then analyzed.  A progress bar will display the progress of the analysis which can be cancelled at any time.

Cancel

The Cancel button will interrupt the analysis started with the Disk Usage button.


Results Page

The Results page shows the results of the disk usage analysis on the selected directory.  In the list a bar graph appears to the left of the directory name to show its percentage of disk use.  To the right of the graph is the actual space used followed by the name of the directory.  The color coding goes as follows: red - greater than 1MB; blue - greater than 1KB and less than 1MB; green - less than 1KB.  The color coding allows the user to quickly identify which directories use the most space.

The Results page is unavailable until an analysis has been performed completely on a directory by using the Disk Usage button on the Analysis Page.

Graph Percent of

The results shown will display a bar graph of the percent of disk space used.  Select Selected Directory Size to graph the percent of disk space each sub-directory uses as a percent of the space used by the selected directory.  Select Disk Size to graph the percent of disk space each sub-directory uses as a percent of space on the selected drive.

Sort

The directory list can be sorted By Name  to sort the list alphabetically by name, or By Size to sort the list from the largest to smallest disk space used.

Include sub-directory sizes

Checking this box will include the size of all sub-directories of each directory shown in the list.  If this box is unchecked then the space shown will only be the space used in that directory.
