"Junk! Don't even bother..."
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Nothing that I could see. Advanced System Care or the new Wise Care 365, if far better.
Cons
Doesn't make sense, too hard to understand, noticed to changed in speed or anything else.
Summary
A program that looks fancy; nice interface; but worthless.

"This is not free"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
There were none that I could see because I wouldn't pay for it.
Cons
I downloaded this, and it scanned my computer and found thousands of so-called errors. But then when it went to repair them, it said it would only repair 50. To fix the rest I would have to buy the full version. This is being misrepresented as free. I don't know why it's getting so many good reviews.

"Free program that does everything to clean your disk"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
I've looked at several similar programs, this has the best features of the ones I've seen. And it's free! I mean really free. Doesn't even nag you for donations.
Cons
None that I could find.

"Retrieved lost photos easily! Must have program!"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Makes finding large lost files easy
Efficiently aids in cleaning up a driveCons
NONE at all!
Summary
Some important wedding photos had vanished from my picture file, and it occurred to me to try a program like this to find them. I knew the original file was quite large, so if the file of pics was still on the drive at all it would become apparent. While I still do not know how the file got buried in a "printer shortcut" file, finding them with this program worked like a charm! Cleaning up my computer after that was also so easy with this program.

"Great Software for Fast Clean-up"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
- Very Effective
- Smooth Interface <--------|
- Easy to Learn/Use }--------|Cons
- Takes about 5 - 10 minutes to scan computer (However this is expected with ANY SOFTWARE and is noted on the program that it can take a little bit on the first scan)
Summary
This is a great program and I highly recommend it. I went from 87 GB left to now having 153 in about 10-15 minutes of using this program. I love the rainbow table as it is very easy and user friendly.

It allows to see what is "eating" your space in the HD. You can also delete everything you want or see in what place it is the software and or the files.
Cons
Nothing, really.

"A very nice GUI"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros

I recommend.

"Does the job and it's free, nice display, a bit slow."
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
FREE, nice graphical representation of results.
Cons
Wish it was faster (although I'm not comparing it to any other program). Also REALLY wish I could save the results so I don't have to continually reanalyze the drive or folders as it's time consuming.
Summary
I'll continue to use WinDirStat until I find a program that can save the results as interactive and is faster.
