Anyone know of any good tricks or software to let me find out where a disk's space has been swallowed up? Ideally free of course.

TreeSize Pro, does pretty graphs etc, and is very much worth the money after the 30 days had run out

There's plenty out there but I didn't fancy a spyware infestation to go with it.

If it's a recent version of windows, look at the folder properties and it will shows you the total space used within that folder. Tedious if you have lots of folders, but a quick and easy way to see where is space has gone at the top level. You can also select multiple folders to see their combained size.

Too much drilling down for my liking, hence the question. For a bit of free sw to solve a problem Matts link did the trick admirably. I just needed a rough and ready way to figure out what I could skip from a backup job. Amongst other problems the customer had 8GB of music files on the server.
