As you install, use and uninstall applications on your computer, the system gets crowded with all sorts of data, some necessary and some redundant. To make sure the latter is removed is part of the system maintenance operations that should be carried out periodically, not just to free up storage space, but also to improve the system’s performance.
Argente Drive Analyzer is one of the applications that you can use to monitor and manage your computer’s storage space. As its name suggests, this application can let you know how much available storage space is there and help identify the files and folders that take the most storage.
Analyze hard disk usage with this application
Just like other software signed by Argente, this application features a straightforward interface with simple options. You can choose the drive to analyze from a drop-down list and Argente Drive Analyzer will reveal the occupied and the free storage space.
There are three sections that allow sorting and filtering the largest files on the system. Unlike other applications in the same category, this one does not allow identifying duplicates and does not provide any visualization options for storage space distribution. Instead, you get lists of the largest directories and file types.
The “Directories” folders shows you what are the most storage-consuming folders on your PC, providing options to quickly open a location and access its properties. On the downside, Argente Drive Analyzer cannot be used instead of Windows Explorer, meaning it does not allow folder actions (e.g. you cannot delete a folder).
Check the file types that take up significant storage space
You can also see what types of files take up the most storage space on the target drive. There are no options to delete files or view exactly what they are, but Argente Drive Analyzer displays the exact number of files of each type.
The “Files”tab is probably the one you will use most, as it displays the list of the largest files on the system. The dots menu of each file allow you to navigate to its location in Windows Explorer, access its properties or delete it to free up storage space directly.
Clean up your PC’s storage space easier
Argente Drive Analyzer has a sole purpose: helping you find the type of data that takes up the most storage space to allow cleaning up unnecessary files and free up storage space. While this is surely not enough to make sure the system is running at top performance, keeping the system uncluttered is one of the actions you need to take.
