What is WizTree?​

WizTree is a very high speed disk space analyzer utility for Windows. It scans your hard drive and shows you which files and folders are using the most disk space. Your entire hard drive's file system is displayed visually, making it very easy to locate large files and folders. Use the information WizTree provides to quickly locate and remove "space hogs" from your hard drive.

WARNING: Take care not to remove any files that are required for the correct operation of your PC!

What makes WizTree so fast?​

When scanning NTFS formatted hard drives (most modern hard drives use this format), WizTree reads the hard drive's Master File Table (MFT) directly from the disk. The MFT is a special hidden file used by the NTFS file system to keep track of all files and folders on a hard drive. Scanning for files this way completely bypasses the operating system (Windows) and provides a huge performance boost.

WizTree can also scan non NTFS hard drives, network drives, USB drives and individual directories.

WizTree 4.20 (29 July 2024)​

• New tweak option added (Options->Tweaks):
  "Scan MFT (if possible) when a folder is selected for analysis" - default is off
  Normally, when a folder is selected for analysis WizTree will scan using the Windows API (MFT scanning is not used). This method is generally quicker when analyzing small to medium sized folders, but for very large folders it can be much quicker to scan the entire MFT file instead.
  If this option is enabled WizTree will always scan the MFT file (is possible) when a folder is selected. You can also force WizTree to scan the MFT when a folder is selected by holding down the CTRL key when starting a new scan. The CTRL key must be down when the scanning process starts for this to work.
• Fixed possible reverse order sorting issue in File View when scanning multiple drives/folders
• Cut/Copy files to clipboard working again on Windows XP/2000/2003 (stopped working in 4.18 due to compatibility issues with new code)
• Processing of folders with millions of files with unique file extensions greatly sped up. Previously WizTree could appear to stop responding when loading such folders into the tree view or when generating the tree map.
• Tree map export now always processes files and folders in size order as the resulting output looks much nicer this way
• Windows Explorer context menu shortcut key for WizTree changed from W to Z (from &WizTree to Wi&zTree) to prevent conflict with "New" option
• Fixed issue where file sizes/allocated sizes could incorrectly be set to 0 for hard linked files in some cases
• MFT scanning speed up to 15% faster in certain cases over previous version

WizTree 4.24 (31 January 2025)​

• WizTree will now hide drives hidden by Windows Group Policy settings (if any). Note that these hidden drives can still be selected by using 'Select Folder' and then typing in the drive name, e.g. "c:" (like Windows Explorer allows)
• percentage displayed for file extensions was not calculated correctly when multiple items were scanned together - fixed
• Percentages displayed will now always default to being calculated using "allocated" values instead of "size", unless sort order is set to "Size" as "Allocated" is the default sort order
• Duplicate detection method now defaults to name, size AND date (previously just name and size) - will affect new installs only
• it's now possible to set the WizTree config folder location via command line parameter. e.g. /configfolder="c:\WizTreeConfig"
  OR by creating the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Antibody Software\WizTree
  and creating a string named "configfolder" within this key containing the config file folder location.
  The command line parameter will take precedence over the registry key. This setting and command line work with both the installer (setup) and WizTree executables (4.24 or newer)

WizTree 4.25 (28 February 2025)​

• CSV Export options that were previously only available via command line are now selectable when using the Export to CSV function. Additional data items can be included in the export along with extra filtering and sorting options. Note that either "Tree View" or "File View" data will be exported depending on which tab is active. Select the correct tab before selecting the CSV export function.
• CSV file exports will now include drive size info by default (total space, space used, space free and reserved space). To exclude this info from the exported CSV file, set command line parameter /exportdrivecapacity=0
• CSV files containing drive size info will have the info displayed on screen (previously only space used was displayed when importing a CSV file)
• CSV file import speed greatly increased
• Fixed bug in 32 bit version that would prevent Windows\System32 folder from being scanned correctly when using slower non NTFS method
