Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

Honestly I just run WinDirStat and do it manually.

Wiztree is like a hundred times faster, fyi.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 13 points 7 months ago

He's not exaggerating. I didn't believe it was possible but holy shit so much better.

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago

Yeah, just grabbed it and gave it a try. Took under 4 seconds to scan the same drive that WinDirStat took a full 3 minutes to scan.

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a shot next time!

[-] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 24 points 7 months ago

This but wiztree instead.

[-] Davel23@kbin.social 9 points 7 months ago

This but SpaceSniffer instead.

[-] lastweakness@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

May I ask why?

[-] Davel23@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

I suppose it's mostly personal preference, but I find SpaceSniffer's display to be a lot more intuitive.

[-] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 6 points 7 months ago

Spacesniffer for me. Also portable. But I'll check out wiztree for funzies.

[-] NoneYa@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

I did the same because having it be portable is so much better especially when you’re dealing with a system that has no space available to install.

[-] srecko@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

Spacesniffer is my preferred alternative.

[-] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 5 points 7 months ago

Kind of an unsettling name

[-] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

No kink shaming.

[-] Paradachshund 4 points 7 months ago

I think that's also in my future, but I liked ccleaner for cleaning up old bits of uninstalled things that didn't remove themselves cleanly.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

Revo for that, but in the moment instead of an afterthought 🤓

[-] vodkasolution@feddit.it 2 points 7 months ago

It's treesize for me
