STORAGE & VISUAL TREEMAPScale Treemap

Scale-drawn visual treemap of every gigabyte on disk.

DiskUni's Storage module implements a state-of-the-art Squarified Treemap algorithm rendered at a blistering 60 FPS. Every folder and file block is drawn geometrically proportional to its exact byte size on disk. Easily zoom into nested folder hierarchies, pinpoint runaway log files or forgotten video renders, and filter the largest items with intuitive category chips.

02 / CORE CAPABILITIES & DEEP DIVE
Exact Geometry

Proportional Area Representation

If a folder consumes 40% of your disk, its rectangle occupies exactly 40% of the visual treemap canvas.

Interactive Zoom

Seamless Infinite Drilldown

Click any directory block to dive inside. Breadcrumb navigation allows instant 1-click jumps back up the folder tree.

Instant Filter

Ranked Largest Items Sidebar

Real-time sorted list of top space consumers with quick category filters for Videos, ISOs, Archives, and Code.

Smart Taxonomy

Color-Coded File Taxonomy

Intuitive color coding distinguishes system binaries, media containers, compressed archives, and developer node modules.

06 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the Squarified Treemap differ from traditional pie charts?

Pie charts become unreadable with more than 7 items. The Squarified Treemap packs hundreds of directories simultaneously into human-readable rectangles, preserving area proportions perfectly.

Can I inspect hidden system files and developer caches?

Yes! DiskUni can inspect hidden AppData folders, Docker virtual disks, WSL images, and package caches with full permission management.

Can I reveal the exact file in Windows Explorer / macOS Finder?

With a single click or keyboard shortcut (Enter), DiskUni reveals the highlighted file in your native file explorer.
