Hi,

I've got a large collection of movies, sound files etc. scattered
across my disk. I want to clean up some files but I have trouble
finding the directory containing the big files.
Windows only allows me to show the size of directory after selecting
its properties - but then it's still timeconsuming to find the
directory containing the files responsible for the big size.

So isn't there utility that locates and displays these directories?

Thanks in advance.

Here is another option. http://markd.mvps.org/
 
I have still another one to add, so I recap:

Detlev Dreyer <[email protected]>:
"TreeSize Free"
http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml#nav_en_treesize

Rock [MVP]
"Folder Size"

I would add:
"WinDirStat"
