Shows what fills your disk
A folder list sorted by size above a treemap of every file, plus largest files, file types, duplicates, old files and empty folders.
Bytopsy is a free, open-source disk analyzer, safe cleaner and PC maintenance tool for Windows. It shows what fills your drives, cleans caches and junk without touching what matters, and keeps drivers, apps and disks healthy.
Releases are published on GitHub by the project's public build workflow.
From the latest release, take bytopsy-<version>-x64.zip and the .sha256 file next to it.
In PowerShell, in the folder you saved them to. The two hashes must be the same.

Two native programs, the windowed app and the terminal app, with the same scanner. See the full tour.
