What this app does

  Drive cards with used, free, and fill percent — click to start a scan.

• Scan with progress

  Scan a drive or folder with percent, file counts, and cancel.

• Heaviest folders

  A Top list of paths that use the most space — click to expand in the tree.

• Filterable tree

• Delete to Recycle Bin
