Looking for a program for checking folder/file sizes.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that can analyze individual folders, files, etc. We are running out of room on one of our servers and instead of right clicking folders and trying to locate which ones are taking up the most space or which files are largest is there a program that can quickly search for this?

    Do a search on the directory and click all files and folders. Then click "What size is it?" and modify the options to includes your parameters. It can list files over 50mb for example.

    Lots of other options but this is the quickest.

    +1 for Treesize
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

    Treesize freaking rocks. It's part of our standard server build.

    WinDirStat is pretty neat as well. Similar to TreeSize.
