DriveSize
Website: https://jestie.github.io/DriveSize/
A TreeSize-style disk usage explorer: drive overview, donut charts, folder
drill-down, file types, largest files, cleanup suggestions, duplicate finder,
and delete (Recycle Bin by default).
Python standard library only; no installs.
Run
| Where | How |
|---|
| Windows (fast, scans C:, D: ... natively) | double-click DriveSize.bat, or ./drivesize.sh from WSL |
| WSL / Linux filesystem | ./drivesize.sh --linux |
It starts in the background, opens http://127.0.0.1:8765/ in your browser and
returns you to the prompt.
Stop it with the ⏻ button in the page, ./drivesize-stop.sh (WSL/Linux) or
DriveSize-Stop.bat (Windows). ./drivesize.sh --fg runs in the foreground instead.
Safety
- Binds to 127.0.0.1 only; every API call needs a per-run token embedded in the page.
- Deletes go to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Linux) unless "permanently" is ticked.
- Refuses drive roots,
Windows, Program Files, ProgramData, C:\Users, user
profile roots, page/hibernate files, WSL ext4.vhdx, and Linux system dirs.
- Cleanup verdicts are heuristics: "Safe" = temp/cache folders apps rebuild;
"Review" = probably unneeded (installers, logs, venvs, node_modules, old media).
Nothing inside system areas is ever suggested.
Permanent deletes run file by file with a live progress bar; files held open by
running apps are skipped and reported rather than aborting the whole folder.
