DiskSphere

See where your disk went — then pick what to clear. DiskSphere scans a disk or a folder and draws every file as a point on a 3D sphere: every colour is a folder, and the big ones are easy to see.

One scan, nine maps

The same files, drawn nine ways. Seven are 3D shapes: full sphere, sphere, disk, islands, time, orbit and galaxy. Two are flat: a sunburst chart and a treemap. You switch from one to the next, and each one shows something the others hide.
