FolderSizes - Disk Space Manager

Key Metric Software is proud to announce a major update to its powerful, network-aware disk space management software – FolderSizes 4.0.

This new release adds a wealth of new capabilities and improvements. Here’s a partial list:

In addition to these improvements and new features, FolderSizes 4.0 contains dozens of smaller enhancements that work to greatly improve overall robustness and usability. Nearly every aspect of the application, from the low-level file system scanning engine to the rendering of graph bars, has been tweaked and optimized.

Note that FolderSizes 4.0 installs (and is licensed) separately from existing versions of the application. This allows current FolderSizes users to fully evaluate the new version before deciding whether or not they wish to upgrade (special upgrade pricing is available) – without disturbing their existing product installations.

Download the new FolderSizes 4.0 release now, and try it for yourself.

Some Microsoft Office applications will create temporary files comprised of eight alphanumeric characters without a filename extension. Typically these are cleaned up by the application automatically, but various issues (such as network connectivity interruptions or anti-virus software poking its head in) can cause such files to be orphaned.

Isolating these types of temporary files for cleanup can be tricky. But the flexible FolderSizes search facility can do it with ease. Just click the Search button in the main FolderSizes application window, and select the FileName matching tab. Enable regular expression mode and enter the following pattern:

(\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a)!.

The expression above matches exactly 8 alphanumeric characters with no extension, which is what many MS Office titles name certain temp files.

With FolderSizes, it’s also easy to find these files within a specific date range, size range, or even search by file owner.
