Choose a specific task below. Each guide explains a separate storage question, with a workflow, limits and a practical example.
- Compare OneDrive Logical Size with Local Disk Usage
Cloud-backed files require checking local availability before estimating recoverable space.
- Audit an External Drive with WizTree
Verify the drive's identity and connection before interpreting its contents or performance.
- Plan a WizTree Audit of a Network Share
A network audit should account for permissions, network activity and the share owner's retention rules.
- Find Large Files on a USB Drive
Audit the removable volume by label and path so it is not confused with the system disk.
- Find Which Game Library Uses the Most Space
Map game-library paths to launchers and use the launcher for supported uninstall or relocation.
- Audit Virtual Machine Files on a Windows Host
Distinguish disks, snapshots and saved states before deciding what can be removed.
- Investigate WSL Storage from the Windows Side
A Windows scan can locate WSL storage containers but does not by itself explain their internal Linux contents.
- Use WizTree to Review Backup Retention
Inventory backup folders, then let the backup system decide how retention should change.
- Investigate Large Mail Archives on Windows
Mail archives need application-aware handling because they may contain the only copy of old messages.

Separate original images, edited copies and application previews before reducing a photo library.
