Where did your disk space go? Space Disk Analyser

If you’ve ever run out of disk space and faced the difficult decision of what files to delete or offload to DVDs or an external hard drive, this program may help you.

Space from AndyH Software

This software creates a visualisation of your hard drive so you can see how much space files and folders are using. Click on the screenshot to view an example.

For example, you may find that your temporary files are very large and deleting them would free up space. Or perhaps your photo gallery is so large that it is time to archive last year’s photographs to DVDs or an external hard drive.

It works with hard drives, CD/DVD drives, mapped network drives and FTP accounts.

You can try it out in full by downloading it from here. After 30 days you can decide to purchase it. The installation is very minimal and not bloated.

I’ve just received my Panosaurus — a tripod head designed to rotate about the nodal point of a camera lens. This looks like the best way to avoid parallax error when making 360 panoramas.
