Hard Drive space

[Edame]

Can anyone recommend a good hard drive cleaner? I'm a serial collector of junk, both in real-life and on my PC, and I hate to throw things away.
I'm down to about 10 gigs on my 80 gig drive, and I'd rather not format it for fear of losing some obscure but important file.

If anyone knows of any good programs that can help me locate useless and outdated files on my PC, or that can show where large concentrations of files are being stored on the drive, please let me know.

Give Spacemonger a try... http://www.werkema.com/software/spacemonger.html

This seem to be what your looking for.

TreeSize Professional is a hard disk space manager with an intuitive interface. It displays complete information about your drives and folders, including size, allocated and wasted space, the number of files, and last access date. It will also find old, big, and temporary files on your hard disks. You can print detailed reports or export the collected data to a Microsoft Excel workbook or a text file. TreeSize Professional can be started from the contextual menu of every folder or drive. Version 2.43 corrects some bugs.

Ooh, another guy from Dublin! I thought all the Irish people who posted here other than me were form the North.

Treesize is pretty good too! It certainly does more than Spacemonger manages.

Thanks for the links.

Treesize was exactly what I was looking for. I managed to find a folder with about 12 gigs of duplicated files that a program hadn't deleted.

Yeah, I win!
