Early morning this day, I was planning to create a backup of my files ( from my 60 gb partition ) so I decided to take an estimate on how many blank dvds should I buy. Most of my files were just Powerpoint presentations, pictures, music, small softwares and documents so I thought 3 dvd's will be enough (About 12 gb. Most of the space came from my music and pictures) .. but I was wrong. 27 gb of files!!! Where the hell did that 15 gb came from???
There are many folders in that partition... and it will be a headache for me to search each folders for those unidentified files. Luckily, I was able to remember that I had installed a software that will help me make things easier, SequoiaView.
This software was reccomended to me by my college friend many months ago. It creates boxes with various sizes that represents each file in a drive. You'll be able to see which files occupies the largest space in your hard drive, and also displays the path in which the files was located.
I ran the program then boom!!! 5 dvd images of Densha Otoko (Train Man... a very good Japanese series about an anime addict who fell in love with a damn gorgeous woman!). It was located on the root drive of the partition. (It's hidden, and I don't know why.).It seems that I forgot to delete those after I transferred it to dvds.
Without SequoiaView... I'll be worn out all day searching every folders for hidden files!!!=)
