Recover a lot of space on your PC using this application: SpaceSniffer

March 8, 2023 Matt Mills

The space of any computer is important. For this reason, there are many programs that we can see that are in charge of freeing up space in the storage system. In this way, we will get rid of manually managing the computer’s memory on a regular basis, since the application we use will take care of it.

With the passage of time, the volume of files that we accumulate is greater. There may even come a time when the hard drive no longer allows more, since it has finished filling up. For this very reason, we are going to see an application with which we are going to recover a lot of space on the PC.

 

Manage memory with SpaceSniffer

The application that we can use to manage the space on the computer’s hard drive is SpaceSniffer. This particular program, in addition to being free, will give us the option to see, in the form of a tree map, the size that each of the files that we have on the PC can occupy. So we will have a simpler and faster option to know which are the files that occupy the most and, above all, to know if they are really important to continue keeping them on the computer.

In this case, we are dealing with a tool that has a series of features that make it a good alternative when choosing an application to manage PC memory:

Tree map of the drive or directory of the computer.

Gives the ability to browse the disk.

Allows you to export the results to a text file.

Lets tag files and directories.

It allows you to move, delete or copy files in a simple way.

It displays the results in boxes of different colors.

Also, if you are interested in trying this application on your own, keep in mind that you can download it from its website: http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/  

This program is currently available for free for Microsoft operating systems: from Windows 2000 to Windows 8 . However, although it does not put anything from Windows 10 and Windows 11, this tool also works according to the report of the users. It is only necessary to comply with 128 MB of RAM memory, 1 GB free space on the disk and a 1 GHz processor...

Find lost space on your disks the easy way. Download SpaceSniffer.

Tested on Windows 2000  XP  Vista  7  8 - works too on 10 and 11.

Brief product description

Latest release is 1.3.0.2

SpaceSniffer is a freeWare (donations are welcome) and portable tool application that lets you understand how folders and files are structured on your disks. By using a Treemapvisualization layout, you have immediate perception of where big folders and files are placed on your devices. Treemap concept was invented by Prof. Ben Shneiderman, who kindly permitted the use of his concept into this tool.

Start a scan process and see the overall situation. Bigger are the elements on the view, bigger are folders and files on your disk. You need more detail on a big folder? Just single click on it. The selected element will be detailed with its content.

Need more and more detail? Keep selecting elements and they'll discover their secrets to you. Need a larger view of a small folder? Then double click on it, and it'll zoom to the full extent of the view.

If you need to understand why no more free space is left on media, keep following bigger elements. Maybe you want to focus only on particular file types... ok. Just type the file type on the filter field (example: *.jpg) and press enter. The view will react and show you only JPEG files.
Want to exclude files? Then type a starting pipe before the filter (example: |*.jpg) and press enter. The view will show everything but JPEG files.

If you want to keep track of examined files you can tag them. Four colors are available. Just hover the mouse on a file and press CTRL+1 to tag it red. There are keys also for yellow, green and blue tagging. Use them as you wish. You can also filter on tags (example: :red will show only red tagges files, :all will show all tagged files and so on). You can also exclude tagged files (example: |:red will exclude all red tagged files)

Want to know if you have old files? Type the condition in the filter field (example: >2years) and the view will react accordingly.

You can also filter on file size, file date and combine all filters
(example: *.jpg;>1mb;<3months;|:yellow)

Once you have your result, you can produce a textual report by using the embedded Export Module. You can even customize the report layout to match your needs.

Please have a look at features. Download here. Support here. Enjoy everywhere!
