What is WizTree?

WizTree is a disk space analyser for Windows that reads the drive's file table directly, so it scans in seconds rather than minutes. It shows the largest files and folders in a list and a visual treemap, can find duplicate files and export to CSV, and is free for personal use.

Pros: what WizTree does well

  • Extremely fast scans
  • Clear visual treemap
  • Portable version available

Cons: where it falls short

  • Commercial use needs a paid licence
  • Fastest scans only on NTFS drives

Who WizTree is for

Windows users who want to find and clear what is filling their drive.

Who can skip it

People with plenty of free storage or who rarely manage files.
