The simplest way to analyze disk space usage in a directory is to press the 'Analyze' button located on the main toolbar and enter the full path of the directory to analyze. In order to analyze multiple directories, disks or network shares, enter all the required locations separated by the semicolon (;) character and press the 'Analyze' button.

Depending on the speed of the disk and the amount of files that should be processed, the disk usage analysis process may take from a couple of seconds for hundreds of files to a few minutes for large file systems containing millions of files. During the disk space analysis process, DiskSavvy will display the progress of the disk space analysis process showing the total amount of processed files and the amount of processed storage space.

Once the analysis process is completed, DiskSavvy will display a hierarchy of processed directories and files sorted by the amount of used storage space. For each directory, DiskSavvy will show the name of the directory, the total amount of files in the directory and all subdirectories and the total amount of the disk space used by all files in the directory and all subdirectories.

Click on a directory item to open the directory and show nested subdirectories and files. Select one or more directories and/or files and press the right mouse button to perform a file management operation on the selected items. For example, select one or more files, press the right mouse button and select the 'Move To' menu item to move all the selected files to another location.
