Good morning, today I bring you an application free that can come in handy if you want
effectively manage the space in your hard drives.
It's a fairly simple application, which I've been using it for many, many years,
and I'm still surprised by how useful it is I find it, and this is what you see here,
"SpaceMonger", which only occupies about 200k, and also does not need installation.
Your role in the next, many times when we enter our hard drive, we see
that we hardly have any space left, and we should delete some files that are no longer us
necessary to recover some space.
For example, in my case, as you can see, I have this unit, disk D, which is almost completely
full.
However, when we enter it, we find ourselves with many folders and files, being complicated
know at first sight, when space is actually occupying each, or containing,
so we do not know exactly what we could delete.
So we're going to use the SpaceMonger to be able to see better the content of the disk,
so I open the application, which as I have commented, do not install it, and in doing so
this window will appear.
Now what we have to do is select what hard disk we want to analyze, and for that
we give the button that says "Open" above to the left, and as you can see, the
units connected to my computer, by what will logically appear to you
yours, both the internal units, as even any external drive or pendrive
that you have connected to the PC.
To start I'll open my unit C which is a disk of 120Gb, where I only have installed
the operating system and some programs.
We wait a few seconds for the application read the disk.
And when we finish we get something like this.
As you can see, now we can see all the content of the hard disk structured in blocks of
colors according to their size, represented each one of those blocks the folders and files
of the hard disk.
In addition you will also see the free space of the disk in a white block, which
it gives us an idea of when space is left, although if you want you can hide this information
with the button that says "Free Space" in the top, although I prefer to leave it
active to have a better idea of how the disc is structured.
And if I put the mouse pointer on top of any color block, I can see how much
space is occupying that file or folder on the disk, for example if you look at
the Windows folder is occupying 27Gb, and If I double-click on it, I can see a view
enlarged of its interior, and thus to know in a more detailed than files contains and their
size.
Also, if I click right with the mouse in a folder or file, I get different
options, and the one that says "Run / Open" lets go directly to that folder in my
PC, or open the file, in the event that be that what I have selected.
And if we want to go back, I've only zoom out, using the button
which says "Zoom Full" also in the part superior and we'll be back in the window
main from which the whole disc is seen.
Although as I said at the beginning, the unit C, it was not the one that had space problems,
if not my unit D, so we're going to open that unit and thus see better than folders and
files contains.
To do this I click again on the "Open" button and now I frame my unit D.
As we see in this album the panorama is very different, since the free space, represented
for the block of white color, it is very small, only 12Gb free, so I'll look
which folders and files are occupying more space, and what could you erase to do
hole in disk.
In this case, for example, I'm seeing a folder called Project VR, which is why
I see it is occupying 9Gb, and it is a folder of a project that I have finished and I do not need
save it, so I'm going to erase it for recover all that space.
For this I can right click on the block, and click where it says "Delete",
but I personally prefer to delete it from Windows Explorer itself to make sure
that really is the folder that I believe, and avoid well any mistake, so I'm going to do
click where it says "Run / Open" "to go up to her.
In effect it's the folder that I thought, what I'm going to eliminate it.
Now to see the changes in the "SpaceMonguer", you have to update the view, and for that we do
click on button that says "Reload" on the upper part.
If you look at it even though I deleted one folder that occupied 9Gb, it does not seem that there
gained free space on the hard drive, I keep having only 12Gb, and that's because in reality
what I have done is send the folder to the recycling bin and logically in it
continues occupying the same space.
In fact if you look at this block here, you can see a folder called "Recycle
Bin ", which is precisely the space that occupies the recycling bin of this disk,
so I'm going to go into my bin and finish to delete the folder.
Now that I have also deleted it from the wastebasket, I'm going to go back and click on the button that says
"Reload", and as you can see, now it's shown the gain in free space represented
by the block of white color.
What I'm going to do is keep exploring the disc, looking for files and folders that you no longer need
and I can erase, and so I will expand still plus free space.
As you can see, in just a moment I have eliminated what I no longer need and I have gained enough
space on the disk, and the time that has has been inferior, if I had had
than doing it through the browser alone of Windows, since in that case it would not have
such a clear vision of all the folders nor how much was occupying each one.
And with this I finish the video, I hope that It may have seemed an interesting application,
and you have learned to use it by means of this tutorial.
