Xinorbis

Ciaran Moore - June 3, 2014

Xinorbis is an extensive hard drive analyser that will certainly show you, in detail, precisely where all of your hard drive space has gone.

Firstly you need to tell the program just what exactly you’d like to check (a folder tree, or an entire drive).Then you need to leave Xinorbis to perform its scanning function. By definition it must scan each and every single file in your specified locations, so this will most likely require some time. It’s well worth the wait, however, simply because when the actual process is finished you’ll get detailed reports on every facet of your hard drive use.

So you can see which directories are taking the most drive space, for instance. Or which file types are turning out to be particular resource hogs: movies, audio files, documents, images, whatever it could be on the system.

A “File Attributes” panel lets you know exactly how many of the browsed files are hidden (perhaps useful for security), system files, created, accessed or modified today.

If other people make use of this PC then you will have the ability to sort your reports by file owner, so you may see which user is mainly responsible for the the majority of junk.

It’s easy to search for files by date range, so you could (for example) see how many files were created in the last month, and exactly where they were on your hard disk. A helpful Folder History option allows you to compare the contents of a folder or drive over time. A Duplicate File Finder finds files that might be using up your hard drive space right currently. And you can easily create detailed reports on all this, exporting them in HTML, CSV or HTML formats.

Often it requires a long time to create certain reports, but in the event that you’re the patient type then Xinorbis will reward you with a great deal of drive-related details.
