i.Disk

Have your hard disk drive and other storage devices scanned in order to view used disk space for each file and folder as numerical values and graph

Even though disk space is becoming less of a concern, management is useful, since programs and video games take up more and more space. If you’re not exactly to terms with the way Windows shows distributed space, applications like i.Disk are sure to come as a more powerful alternative.

Lightweight and easy to use

After the installer is done prepping the application, you’re free to take it out for a spin, even being offered to have it automatically launched after setup. Although it hasn’t been updated in some time, it works just fine, even on recent Windows iterations.

Its looks may leave a little more to be desired if you’re expecting to find shiny visuals, animations, and other sorts of aesthetic tricks. All features are stored in a classic window design, that perfectly blends with functionality, not taking up many resources, affect the accommodation process, nor make the interface look dull.

View file and folder disk usage

As you’ve probably guessed by now, the application’s specialty is to scan your computer and all connected storage devices in an attempt to build a neat list with info related to size. The scan process automatically starts on launch, so you might have to wait for a while, or manually hit the Stop button to get to know the application a bit better. However, you can still browse through the tree view of folders while the scan is underway.

One panel found in the main window is used to show all connected storage devices, and you need to select one to view its content in the next panel. Displayed as a list, with the possibility to manage both files and folders, memory usage is shown both in numerical values, as well as a simple line graph. You can navigate to view individual files and folder, open location, or even have large items removed.

A few last words

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that i.Disk may look a bit outdated, but this impression is only created by the simple design. In terms of functionality, the application does a pretty good job at scanning, retrieving, and displaying data related to disk space usage in a straightforward, but highly practical way.
