About this app

Spot large files, delete junk, and reclaim space!

This application highlights the large files that take up the available space on your device. They can be easily identified, even if they are deep in subdirectories. Unnecessary files can be easily deleted or inspected further.

Results are presented in a variety of ways:

• A view similar to KDirStat (Linux) or WinDirStat (Windows).
• A list of the largest files.
• A list of the largest directories.
• A list of the largest categories (Images, Videos, Documents...)

It's up to you to choose which is the most relevant.

It is possible to configure the categories to be scanned. You can also choose whether or not to scan hidden files and directories.

The use of the application does not require any registration and no personal information is requested. It is guaranteed without any tracker.

AUTHORIZATIONS REQUIRED
In order to access all files on the device, the app requests the permissions below:

• MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Allows an application wide access to storage.

• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Allows an application to write to storage.

WARNINGS
⚠ As with all apps in the same category, be careful not to delete any files needed by the system or your apps. The responsibility of the author can in no way be engaged if after deleting files, some applications no longer work as before!

Ratings and reviews

First scan by default is not as complete as possible. Go into settings and File Types in the File Scanning section. In there you get to check to include more file types to include I scan results. Scan again. Take a look at the last icon on the toolbar called "Types" where they are sorted by size and presented as histograms that you can drill into. I have used dirtree on the PC for years and this is the closest Android app I have found to use on a phone. A++++

Went downhill. I used to be able to see the entire storage (128 GB) even system and installed apps. Then i can decide if the app or file is worth the bloated size. The app now doesnt give me the same info. Roll it back to that then put some ads and all would be fine. Another example: Some video editors store a copy of the video edit in an unusual location. I could see it before and delete those.

Good utility, but it's default of excluding some file types is problematic- especially since these exclusions are not clearly and continuously apparent. So, -2 stars for that. A solution would be indicating "x files and y folders totalling z GB, j files ignored" and making "j files ignored" underlined and links you to the config page for exclusions, with why they're ignored, and then the toggle to include the files.

What’s new

Fixed a bug that blocked scanning on the second attempt on certain devices.
