Hi
Are there any programs that show the amount of space taken up by files on your Hard Drives on a pie graph?
 
Yes - Right-Click your HDD in My Computer, and select properties. :D

Do you want something which can display the different file types and how musch space each file type takes up...?
 
The absolutely single most brilliant solution to this problem is WinDirStat. It doesn't offer pie charts but use treemaps instead, which are must better suited to the recursively nested folder structures found in filesystems. Enjoy :)
 
Tune-up Utilities 2008 have a cool Disk Explorer which shows how much space is taken up by Music files, video files, system files, etc...
 
WinDirStat is damn good. Made me stop working on my own pie-view program about a year ago, simply because it already did everything I could want, and very well!

Colour coding is by file type, which gives a nice view of what's taking up all your space.
 
thanks guys will check these programs out

...yes
 
WinDirStat literally saved me hours of random searching for large files to delete. You can click on each individual "block" which represents a file and it will tell you exactly where it is located.

I even found .iso image files I had forgotten about years ago in deep directories. (no, not porn!)
