Disk Cleaner
Disk Cleaner is a free download utility that shows you exactly where the free space has gone.
 In a matter of seconds Disk Cleaner calculates recursive folder size (including all files and sub-folders) for all folders on the entire NTFS drive. It allows drilling down through any particular folder to its subfolders and helps identify space-hungry ones. When a clean-worthy folder has been identified, the tool launches native Windows Explorer against the folder. Than Explorer can be used to do the actual cleaning. Cleaning could mean deleting, moving to DVD or compressing (in rare cases).
Disk Cleaner accesses NTFS through MFT (Master File Table). This is similar to how the native disk defragmenter accesses NTFS to do its job. It's definitely the fastest way to access all objects and calculate recursive folder size.
Usage notes:
- The program requires Administrative access to run
- The program only supports NTFS drives (FAT, FAT32, CDFS and others are not supported)
- The program does not support network disks
- The program does not support removable NTFS drives
After scan has been completed, the program works with snapshot of a drive
- If significant changes occur, use refresh to rescan the drive
- First scan after system reboot takes noticeably longer than subsequent scans (including refreshes)
