Simple Directory Analyzer

With the aid of Simple Directory Analyzer you can scan your disk directories to find out useful information about your files, such as the types of files which take up the most space, files with one or more clones, or hidden files.

This is an intuitive program that lets you personalize search operations by applying advanced filters, view graphical representations of the file type distribution and file size, as well as use the data to create reports.

Simple Directory Analyzer is wrapped in a user-friendly interface that doesn't put too much emphasis on appearance, yet it has a neatly organized structure.

In order to perform a scan job, you can select the target (drive or directory), include or exclude subdolders, and define ranges for the file size and date of last modification. The scan time depends on the selected target and applied settings, but it's generally good.

In the search results, you can find out out the name, format, location, format and size of each file, double-click an item to get additional information (e.g. last accessed time), or visit a file in Windows Explorer, One or more selected files can be removed from the computer to clear up space.

The application can be asked to order file types by count and you can limit the number of extensions to take into account, as well as view a bar chart which can be saved as a JPEG image.

You can find all duplicate files and remove them while preserving the original copies, as well as check out hidden files and the ones which take up the most space, in addition to a bar chart with the top largest files.

Data can be exported to CSV files. Alternatively, Simple Directory Analyzer can gather all previously mentioned information and turn it into an HTML report.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the software utility didn't hang or crash. It had minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.

All things considered, Simple Directory Analyzer proves to be a reliable assistant for examining files, and it can be handled by anyone with ease. Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time.
