WinDirStat provides a visual and statistical representation of disk usage, as well as cleanup tools. It reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views: directory list, extension list, and tree map. Its built-in cleanup actions include open, show properties, delete as well as user-defined ones.
Note: The 98/ME version works on all versions of Windows but does not support Unicode. The 2K/XP version only works on WinNT and higher.
Alternatively, WinDirStat Portable and X-WinDirStat are also available.

Very handy for visually finding and backing up the file caches on a friend's computer before reloading the os. You can quickly see which user accounts have files and which are unused.

The three main issues I found with WinDirStat are:
1. It can't compare the current disk usage with an older snapshot in order to see what new files crept up, or which increased in size
2. It can't delete multiple files at once
3. Its development seems to have ceased in September 2007, according to https://sourceforge.net/projects/windirstat/

I started using this program recently and have found it very useful. The graph display of used space is not very useful however so I just ignore it.

windirstat writes settings to windows registry.
But X-WinDirStat save settings to \User folder.

I've been using this for years, sure it's missing some features and rough around the edges but it's fully functional and runs quite fast. A shame the developer decided to cease operations
