TreeSize Professional and TreeSize Personal are not the only members of the family. They have a little brother – TreeSize Free. Well, TSFree may be “little”, but it’s actually quite nice if you don’t need the fancy graphing facilities in the other two programs.

TreeSize Free will analyze the drive of your choice and create a folder tree, displaying various information such as: size, bytes allocated, percent (out of total size) and wasted space. Switching between these display modes can be done instantly, without triggering a rescan of the drive being analysed.

Information must be sorted in order to be meaningful; TreeSize Free can do alphabetical and “by size” sorting, but it can also spit the results unsorted, as they come from the filesystem.

Free doesn’t mean “featureless” in TreeSize: there’s a useful setting (filter) which allows you to specify what files should be included in the scan (perfect if you want to check the size of the MP3s scattered everywhere on your hard drive).

The scan results can be printed for later reference (or as “hard” proof if you need to persuade someone to delete a few games to make room for your music).

TreeSize Free 1.78 is basically a bugfix release, improving error handling and solving several GUI issues. See below for more details.

*** WHAT’S NEW IN TREESEIZE FREE 1.78 ***

- Bugfix: Changing the cluster size to a user defined value in the Scan Options didn’t update the values of the wasted space.
- In some cases the error handling has been improved and error messages are shown less often.
- The flickering during the scan has been eliminated.
- The French UI was not always shown.

The powerful hard drive space manager and reporter TreeSize received today a minor update. Both Professional and Personal versions have been upgraded, fixing a few bugs related to the drives list, sorting and the XML reports.

TreeSize is an excellent tool when it comes to managing your hard disks. It thoroughly calculates the disk space occupied by each file and folder, allowing for efficient usage of free storage space on each partition. Several display units can be chosen along with different sorting modes.

You can choose to exclude some files or folders from being analyzed by TreeSize, a helpful option for advanced users. The program also installs a handy Windows Explorer extension, which enables the display of a “real folder size” column in Explorer’s details view mode.

TreeSize creates multiple types of reports, including customizable 2D/3D pie or bar charts, grouping items by size, by extension or by user (owner). TreeSize also provides a Top 100 Files list and a details view, with extensive information about the files/folders being analyzed.

The reports can be exported as text or XML or even printed from within the program.
