Choose a specific task below. Each guide explains a separate storage question, with a workflow, limits and a practical example.
- Your First WizTree Scan on Windows
Start with a single drive and identify its largest folders before considering cleanup.
- Analyze Windows 11 Storage with WizTree
Use Windows Storage for categories and WizTree for paths when a category does not explain where space went.
- Investigate Disk Usage on Windows 10
A Windows 10 storage investigation should establish the full drive, the large path and the application that owns it.
- Use Portable WizTree for a Storage Audit
A portable workflow separates running the analyzer from installing it, but still requires careful handling of the executable and reports.
- Plan a WizTree Installation on Windows
The installed edition suits repeated use on one PC; decide where it belongs and how updates will be handled.
- Update WizTree Without Losing Your Audit Context
Record the current version and scan settings before an update so changed results can be investigated fairly.
- When to Run WizTree as Administrator
Use elevation only when needed for drive access, and treat the resulting ability to change protected files with care.
- Choose the Correct Drive Before a WizTree Scan
Drive letters identify volumes, while physical disks and mounted folders can make the storage layout less obvious.
- Scan a Folder Instead of an Entire Drive
A folder scan narrows an investigation once you know which branch needs attention.
- Check WizTree Requirements for Your Windows PC
Check the developer's current requirements for your Windows build and processor instead of assuming every download fits every computer.
