    Starting with Windows 10 build 21277 in the Dev channel, the company added lots of useful features and one out of them is a new disk space analyzer tool called DiskUsage.

    DiskUsage Tool in Windows 10

    DiskUsage is a new disk space analyzer app that scans your device drives and folder and shows you advance details about how much space they are consuming.

    You might be wondering, how it’s useful, right? Suppose your device is out of storage space and you want to figure out what drive or directly is eating up most of the space. Earlier, Windows OS doesn’t offer a similar feature, but with new DiskUsage tool users will be able to find advanced analytics

    DiskUsage tool location in Windows 10 is this: C:\Windows\System32\diskusage.exe.

    How to Use DiskUsage tool in Windows 10

    In case, you’re looking for similar disk analyzer tool for Windows 10 for a long time and would like to try it, then here’s how you can do that:

    Make sure, you’re running Windows 10 build 21277 or above.

    Launch Command Prompt with admin rights. When UAC dialog appears, click Yes to continue.

    Next, you need to copy-paste this command: diskusage /minFileSize=1073741824 /h c:\windows and hit enter. Doing this will show you advanced details about folders whose size is more than 1GB.

    Keep in mind that, 1073741824 equals to 1GB. Similarly, if you want to look for drive more than 2GB in size, then replace 1073741824 with 2147483648 in above command.

    Apart from this, there are lots of other options that users can find out by executing this command: diskusage /? This will show you a list of all references for supported options:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>diskusage /?
