WinDirStat, the long-running open-source disk usage analyzer, is out with version 2.7.0.
What's New
WinDirStat continues to build on its modernized 2.x codebase (a from-the-ground-up C++/CMake rewrite of the original 2003 classic). Recent releases in this line have added:
- Dark mode support that matches Windows' system theme, including the treemap background and all UI panels
- Search functionality within scan results, making it faster to locate specific large files or folders
- Removal of the legacy OLE dependency, allowing WinDirStat to run on Server Core installations
- Various performance and memory usage improvements for scanning large drives
- An installer option to add WinDirStat to the system PATH for command-line use
As with every release, the tool remains completely free with no ads, no upsells, no telemetry.
Why It Matters
Disk space visualizers are a staple utility for anyone managing storage on an aging SSD or a drive cluttered with duplicate downloads. WinDirStat's treemap view makes it trivial to spot the folders eating up your space at a glance.
