    What it does

    See where your disk space went, then clean up with care.

    See where the space went

    DiskScout draws the drive as a map. Each block is a folder or file, sized by the space it uses and colored by type.

    Filter by size and type

    Narrow the map down to what you are looking for, for example video files over 500 MB.

    Find duplicates by content

    Duplicates are found by comparing file contents, not names. DiskScout lists the identical files so you can check them yourself.

    Delete carefully

    Files go to the Recycle Bin by default. Each one is compared byte for byte with a copy that stays, and the last copy is not removed unless you explicitly say so.

    Optional Claude panel

    An optional panel works with your own Claude installation. Anything it wants to delete or run waits for your approval.

    Small and open

    One portable .exe, written in Go with no third-party code. MIT licensed, and contributions are welcome.

    Before you download

    Keep a backup, and check the file.

    DiskScout can delete files.

    Keep backups of anything you cannot afford to lose before you clean up a drive. DiskScout is provided as is, without warranty, under the MIT License.

    Check the download

    The .exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time you run it. You can compare the file with the SHA-256 checksum published with the release.

    DiskScout-1.8.0.exe (v1.8.0)
    83c29c1ae2ca979cea3da337daad3f2e35cf952b7ef2dae02a6351640b316895

    In PowerShell, run Get-FileHash .\DiskScout-1.8.0.exe and compare the result. Newer releases list their own checksum on the release page.
