Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

Honestly I just run WinDirStat and do it manually.

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 35 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Wiztree is like a hundred times faster, fyi.

He's not exaggerating. I didn't believe it was possible but holy shit so much better.

[–] yukichigai@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah, just grabbed it and gave it a try. Took under 4 seconds to scan the same drive that WinDirStat took a full 3 minutes to scan.

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a shot next time!

This but SpaceSniffer instead.

I suppose it's mostly personal preference, but I find SpaceSniffer's display to be a lot more intuitive.

[–] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

Spacesniffer for me. Also portable. But I'll check out wiztree for funzies.

[–] srecko@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Spacesniffer is my preferred alternative.

No kink shaming.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think that's also in my future, but I liked ccleaner for cleaning up old bits of uninstalled things that didn't remove themselves cleanly.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Revo for that, but in the moment instead of an afterthought 🤓

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 2 points 11 months ago

It's treesize for me
