App summary

Spot large files, delete junk, and reclaim space!

This application highlights the large files that take up the available space on your device. They can be easily identified, even if they are deep in subdirectories. Unnecessary files can be easily deleted or inspected further.

Results are presented in a variety of ways:

• A view similar to KDirStat (Linux) or WinDirStat (Windows).
• A list of the largest files.
• A list of the largest directories.
• A list of the largest categories (Images, Videos, Documents...)

It's up to you to choose which is the most relevant.

It is possible to configure the categories to be scanned. You can also choose whether or not to scan hidden files and directories.

The use of the application does not require any registration and no personal information is requested. It is guaranteed without any tracker.

AUTHORIZATIONS REQUIRED
In order to access all files on the device, the app requests the permissions below:

• MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Allows an application wide access to storage.

• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Allows an application to write to storage.

WARNINGS
⚠ As with all apps in the same category, be careful not to delete any files needed by the system or your apps. The responsibility of the author can in no way be engaged if after deleting files, some applications no longer work as before!

User reviews
Didn't even give it a chance to scan. It may have been highly rated by other users in the past but even after opting out of all legitimate interests in data processing, the individual vendors' selections are still active. Going to remove permissions one by one causes the app to crash, did it three times. I'm not giving an app with access to my file storage permission to send info to all those vendors. Horrible app.

You have to have the app open in order for it to scan (no putting it in the background) and when it did finished scanning for me it showed nothing.

The app freezes when you try to analyze large amounts of files. And it takes too damn long to scan, I had to wait almost 30 minutes for it to scan my card I want to have the app crash when it finished. I have a 1 TB microSD card with hundreds of audiobooks, over 40,000 pictures, and over 150 gigs of music. Edit: You still haven't fixed it, and my total number of files is now up to around 300,000
