ShowSize is a disk space analyzer for Microsoft Windows that shows the disk space occupied by various items on a disk. It was first developed as a DOS application and was released on CompuServe forums in 1995.

ShowSize produces many reports to help find out the disk space occupied by various items such as folders, file types, and file owners. It also has some flat reports that give a unique perspective on the file system (for example only files and only folders). Since these flat reports can be very big for modern huge disks, they are shown by using a virtual list to minimize the memory usage by the program.

Features

  • Folder sizes report
