Disk Recon 14.1

Disk Recon: File & Folder Management for Windows

Disk Recon answers the question "where did my disk space go?" — and then lets you act on the answer. It shows you a live folder-size tree, finds duplicate and oversized files, scans file contents with regular expressions, and lets you copy, move, rename, or archive the results without leaving the application. Everything Windows Explorer won't do, in one tool.

What Disk Recon Can Do

• Folder Sizes — Visual tree showing exactly how much space each folder occupies. Drill down instantly to find the folders eating your disk.
• File Search — Advanced file finder with filters for name, date, size, content, and attributes. Far more powerful than Windows Explorer search.
• Duplicate Files — Find files that are identical by name, size, date, or CRC32 content hash. Delete duplicates with one click.
• Duplicate Folders — Detect folder trees that are near-identical copies of each other.
• Disk Usage — Instant overview of every drive: capacity, free space, file system, and cluster size.
• File Types — Statistical breakdown of disk usage by file extension.
• File Sizes — Distribution of files across size ranges.
• File Dates — Age distribution of your files — find stale data fast.
• Largest Files — The top 50 space consumers on your disk at a glance.
• File Monitor — Real-time tracking of file and folder changes in a watched folder.
• Regex Search — Extract matching text patterns (emails, IPs, codes) from thousands of files at once.
• Batch Rename — Rename hundreds of files at once with flexible rules: prefix, suffix, numbering, case change, and more.
• File Attributes — Bulk-change read-only, hidden, system, or archive flags and modify timestamps.
• Copy / Move / Archive — Copy, move, or ZIP files found in search results directly from within Disk Recon.

Key Capabilities

• Scan local drives, external drives, and network shares (UNC paths supported).
• Handles files larger than 4 GB and paths with full Unicode support.
• Shows both real file sizes and allocated sizes (including NTFS cluster slack space).
• Supports NTFS compressed files, folders, and drives.
• Extensive filtering: file name, date range, size range, content text, and attributes — combinable in any way.
• Export any result set to Excel, HTML, CSV, plain text, or XML.
• Command-line interface for automated and scheduled reporting.

Who It Is For

Disk Recon is used by home users who want to keep their PC clean, and by IT professionals who need to audit storage usage across multiple machines or network drives. Its balance of power and ease of use makes it effective for both audiences.
