Disk Space Analysis and Management

DiskFerret is a disk space utilization tool that analyzes the files within a hard drive, network share, or folder, and provides charts and detailed information to help you understand where and how disk space is being used. A variety of interactive charts are provided that allow you to quickly drill down and isolate files based on different criteria such as largest folders and files, oldest files, duplicate files, files by owner, and more. Once you've located the unwanted files that are wasting disk space, DiskFerret provides the tools to delete them, or move them into a zip file. Take a tour of DiskFerret's features.

Data Storage and Management is Expensive

Over the years, disk space has become fairly inexpensive, but programs and data files are expanding just as fast as prices drop on hard disc. No matter how much drive space is available it eventually gets used up, slows your system and network down, and you get cramped for space. And, it’s expensive to maintain and manage ever increasing backups. DiskFerret can reduce your cost by helping you quickly find and eliminate unwanted or unused data.

Version 1.4.3 is Now Available new

Our latest version includes a new Search utility that includes powerful features to help you find the files you need fast! Search by name, date, owner, attributes, date, and size. And, search for text within files. Combine any of the search criteria to find the exact files you need. The search dialog makes it easy, and if you are a real power user you'll love the regular expression capability built into DiskFerret's search engine.
