“Free up disk space by finding big files”

by Nick Mead about DaisyDisk

Ever suspect your disk is being cluttered with big hidden files? Daisy Disk is a simple but elegant app to see what's occupying your precious space.

Daisy Disk scans a disk and displays its content as a sector diagram where the biggest files and folders are clear. If you want to inspect a folder more, you can just click on one of the segments. You can also see the exact path of each file by moving the mouse over the chart including any files that are within it. You can preview file content by hitting Space or Ctrl-click to open a file in Finder.

So far so good but perhaps the one downside of Daisy Disk is that you can't actually delete all the files hogging space from within DaisyDisk. However, the developer has promised that this will be something added to version 2 which will make DaisyDisk even more useful. Overall however, I much prefer the presentation and intuitiveness of Daisy Disk compared to many similar disk space saving apps I've used.

Daisy Disk makes the contents of your hard drive far easier to see and manage so you can free-up that precious hard disk space.

Pros
  • Looks great when scanned
  • Shows paths of files
Cons
  • No way to delete files from within the application
