Treesize V7.1.5 -

Click the "Chart" tab or press Ctrl + T. The treemap will render. Notice that large files become large rectangles. Double-click a rectangle to drill down into that folder. Right-click a rectangle for deletion options.

| Feature | TreeSize v7.1.5 | WizTree | WinDirStat | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Speed | Very Fast (MFT scan) | Fastest (reads MFT) | Very Slow | | NAS Support | Excellent (v7.1.5 optimized) | Poor (requires local scan) | Poor | | Export Reports | Yes (Excel/HTML/XML) | No | No | | CLI Scripting | Yes | No | No | | Dark Mode | Yes (fixed in v7.1.5) | Beta | No | treesize v7.1.5

While WizTree is faster for local NTFS drives because it reads the Master File Table (MFT) directly, TreeSize v7.1.5 wins for network, cloud, and detailed management. Click the "Chart" tab or press Ctrl + T

The basic usage of treesize involves simply running the command followed by the path you want to analyze: If no path is specified, treesize will analyze

treesize [path]

If no path is specified, treesize will analyze the current directory.

This version sharpens the duplicate file search engine. It now uses byte-by-byte comparison as a default for critical data, and a faster hash-based comparison for general cleanup. Combined with the "old files" filter (e.g., "Show me all .tmp files older than 180 days"), TreeSize v7.1.5 is the ultimate tool for compliance with data retention policies.

The 7.1.5 update refines the treemap algorithm. Previously, large empty spaces within directories could distort the visual hierarchy. Now, the engine uses a "squarified" layout that makes it easier to spot anomalies. Files are color-coded by file type (e.g., blue for documents, red for videos, yellow for temp files), and you can now hover to see full paths instantly.
