Why your hard disk is full?

Hard disk is the area where all of your files are stored. But after some time, it comes to your notice that the hard disk is full. It may be due to various reasons- you actually have too much of multimedia files, some of the softwares may have made a hidden duplicate of your files,
or it may have created accidentally by you, etc. And you wonder why your hard disk is full? Or what directory is taking up most of the hard disk space? Your computer can respond slow when there is less space in its hard disk.
Get a tool which is free and easy to use to get rid of this problem. SequoiaView is a freeware that was developed by the computer science department of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven to answer your queries regarding hard disk utilization.

SequoiaView uses a visualization technique called cushion tree maps to provide you with a single picture of the entire contents of your hard drive. You can use it to locate those large files that you haven't accessed in one year, or to quickly locate the largest picture files on your drive. You can also go directly to the directory by right clicking on the image of your drive.
