If you want to have a clear out of your hard drive and track down where all the space-hogging files and folders are then try this awesome, yet tiny, application: Space Monger.

It works by giving you a visual representation of the size of everything on your hard drive. Say if your “Program Files” folder takes up 25% of your disk, then the block representing that folder will take up 25% of the folder, e.g. like this screen shot .

I’ve linked to version 1.4 which is free (of cost), there is a version 2.x branch which will cost you around $20. Although I think the free version will do all you need it to do. Again this is something I’ve been using for a long time and really recommend it. I only wish there was something like it for other OS’s because it is just so helpful.
