Choose a specific task below. Each guide explains a separate storage question, with a workflow, limits and a practical example.
- Read WizTree Tree View Without Losing the Path
Tree View helps explain how a large directory is divided among its immediate children.
- Use WizTree File View to Investigate Large Files
File View is useful when one large file is more informative than a folder total.
- Understand WizTree Treemap Blocks
A treemap is a visual starting point; verify a selected block against its path and measured size.
- Size and Allocated: Which Number Should You Use?
Use the measurement that matches your question: logical content length and occupied storage are different concepts.
- Interpret Folder Percentages in a WizTree Report
A percentage is meaningful only with its denominator and scan scope.
- Compare Free Space with the WizTree Treemap
Use the volume's free-space figure to track actual capacity while using the treemap to investigate file distribution.
- Avoid Double Counting Hard Links in Disk Reports
Multiple paths can refer to shared file data, which complicates manual totals and deletion estimates.
- Investigate Compressed Files in WizTree
Compression can make content size a poor predictor of its occupied space.
- Why a Sparse File Can Look Larger Than Its Footprint
A file can reserve a large logical range without storing data in every part of it.
- Why WizTree Totals Can Differ from Windows Used Space
Compare identical volumes, current scans and consistent measurements before investigating a residual difference.
