Few days back, I’d written that how you can free up the space on your hard disk, when the hard disk space keeps on getting low. SequoiaView is a program which scans your hard disk and displays the content of the drive in squarified treemap and allows you to discover that which directory is taking more space.
The way it shows the treemap, it becomes very easy to spot that which directory is taking the space and with the help of SequoiaView’s treemap I was able to save a whooping 7 Gb of space from 1 partition only.
I’m sure I’m going to use this for rest 5 partitions and will ensure that I’ll save more space.
Where did I save the space & Why I didn’t I save it earlier ?
As I test lots of software and I install them regularly and because of my laziness, I don’t uninstall them in a hope that I’ll use them some other time, but there are many software which I just don’t use and thus that space becomes waste.
Various temporary files were lying in deep folders which were of no use and I removed all of them and was able to save 7 Gb!
The way SequoiaView displays your data spread across the hard disk, it becomes really easy to find out the bad files wasting the space.

I used this when I was in Windows. If you are in Linux, Konquoror has this feature built in.
Look at windirstat that one uses SequoiaView technology and is maintained.
