This utility was written to simplify cleaning up hard disks (and network drives) by making it easy to find which directories occupy the most disk space. Unfortunately, using the Windows Explorer you can only find out directory sizes one-by-one (by getting the properties of each directory).
The program takes a specified starting point (eg. C:\GAMES) and then scans that directory and all subdirectories (and sub-subdirectories and so on), calculating the amount of disk occupied by all files it finds.
It then lists the size of the files and directories in the starting directory. (See example below).
For each directory it lists the size and number of files in that directory (including subdirectories). In the case of files the size only is listed (in this way you can tell the difference between directories and files).
At the end of the listing is a line stating the total size of the nominated starting directory.
As the sizes are specified at the start of the line you can use the SORT command to sort the results into smallest to largest directory.
