Freeware Tools: RidNacs 2.0.3

RidNacs is a disk space analyzer that integrates with the Windows Explorer right-click menu and provides quick access to a tree map with percentage indicators that represent the size of all folders and file within the selected directory structure. You can click on directories to digg deeper into the folder structure and manage files with the standard Explorer content menu. The analysis result can be optionally be saved as Text, HTML, CSV or XML file. Being a simple program with a minimal number of functions, the user interface is also uncomplicated.

RidNacs allows you to select a local folder, an entire drive, a removable disk or even a network location, which you can scan in order to get a detailed list with all the files sorted by size.

You can reorder the result list by the number of files contained, their size or by the percent of disk-space they take.

This is a useful feature in case you need to identify the large files in order to clean up your hard-disk.

If you find yourself needing to scan the same folder many times, you can add it to the favorites list, so you can quickly select it the next time.

In case a scan takes too long or you just do not want it to be performed anymore, you can stop the process at any time, and also you can restart it when you want to.

After you finished the scan, you have the option to save the results to the local drive in various formats, such as CSV, TXT, XML or HTML. This will allow you to print the results or compare them with future scans, in order to identify what changes occurred to the scanned drives.

To summarize, RidNacs is an useful and efficient piece of software tailored to help you scan folders or drives, and to identify the files or directories that occupy the most disk space, in order to clean up the obsolete files.
