My 80G hard drive is getting full, and , yes, I know a new one is about 10p per terabyte, but I would like to go through hacking out some of the dead wood from this one first, to limit the transfer needed over to a new one. What I would like is an application, or tips on how to use my exisiting applications, to show me (say) the 10 biggest files and biggest folders on the whole machine. I am on the dark side, so that limits me somewhat. I can use search from an explorer window, but that takes ages to run, mainly because it's doing a lot more than just pointing at files and dir/s > a.lst from a DOS window takes some searching afterwards.

any good tips?

I like to use Overdisk, it graphically diplays your hard drive usage in a circular manner, and you can click on individual folders, and it zooms in on those folders.

Thanks all, I'd not heard of any of those. I'll start combing.
