Hello there, I was having similar issues with my lenovo x61. Just deleted the backups in the think vantage rescue and recovery software and was able to reclaim a whopping 62 GB!

Thanks guys, this was a life saver

Very good tool, easy and simple! I have a WIN 2008 server and it helped me in finding “areas for improvement” (like deleting the 4gb hibernate file which is useless on a server).
Now I am struggling with the “unknown” files (over 20 GB out of 67 GB). Any clues of what they could be on a Win Server? Win Server offers no “System Restore Functions” and I already limited the space of Shadow Copies to 3 GB (enough for keeping 2 copies on my disk). I run chkdsk and everything is fine… no need for defrag either…
Thank you for any suggestion you may have!

Olivier,
I wanted to leave a word of thanks for the superb utility that you have provided.
Permitted me to get rid of some hidden junk in my PC that occupied 30 percent of valuable space.

Hats off!
Srikanth

I get it, i do the same thing

> I want to give that code a more lenient (non-copyleft) license when it’s done.

But it will be open source/released right ?

I’m looking forward to the code [put geek smiley here]

James, you are right, because a.) I prefer to develop such code separately and b.) I want to give that code a more lenient (non-copyleft) license when it’s done.

As for FAT support in such a parser, nope. Not planned at all. This is not to rule it out entirely, but I don’t want to instill any hopes

Definitely a strong logo. I think the vector approach is much more sensible than the a bitmap would be.

I agree with Ian, the two-tiered black/grey logo looks the best.

And take your time with releasing the new version. Personally, I think it’s best if you are pleased with the work before releasing it. That said, I am eager to play with a new version

off topic:
you talked about an mft reader/parser but when i checked the code i didn’t find it anywhere so my question is: will you commit it to the repo ?

And another question: this parser is ntfs only do you have any plans on making a parser for fat ? many usb sticks and memory cards use fat file system, so it might be useful.
