If you are on OS X, Disk Inventory X (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.derlien.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.derlien.com&#x2F;</a>) is quite useful for this as it uses visual treemaps (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.umd.edu&#x2F;hcil&#x2F;treemap-history&#x2F;index.shtml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.umd.edu&#x2F;hcil&#x2F;treemap-history&#x2F;index.shtml</a>) allowing you to quickly see which files are bloating your system.<p>There is WinDirStat (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;windirstat.info&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;windirstat.info&#x2F;</a>) on Windows and quite a few similar tools on Linux such as Baobab, KDirStat, etc...

I use the ncdu cli tool for reviewing what folders consume the most space.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dev.yorhel.nl&#x2F;ncdu" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dev.yorhel.nl&#x2F;ncdu</a>

I like PA Storage Monitor on Windows - lets you find large files, files of a type, disk hogs, and (what I like most) lets you compare folder sizes over time.
