FolderSize

No matter how large hard disk drive you have, over time it fills up and you need to clean it. To do that effectivly, you need to easily know how much disk space each folder and subfolder occupies.

FolderSize is a tool that scans recursively the selected folder and calculates the total size of all files. Then the folder tree is displayed in the left pane with color coding and sizes. Clicking on a folder will display the files from it in the right pane and on a separate tab are displayed statistics of file sizes grouped by type. The list of folders can be exported to a comma-separated or tab-delimited text file.

It is open-source application is written in C++ using the OWLNext framework. The full source code is available on the project site.
