Your First WizTree Scan on Windows
Start with a single drive and identify its largest folders before considering cleanup.
When to Run WizTree as Administrator
Use elevation only when needed for drive access, and treat the resulting ability to change protected files with care.
Size and Allocated: Which Number Should You Use?
Use the measurement that matches your question: logical content length and occupied storage are different concepts.
Why WizTree Totals Can Differ from Windows Used Space
Compare identical volumes, current scans and consistent measurements before investigating a residual difference.
Review Duplicate Candidates Before Deleting Files
Treat suspected duplicates as a review queue until their content and application roles are confirmed.
Build a Safe Cleanup Plan from WizTree Results
Turn the largest paths into a reviewed action list rather than deleting directly from a size ranking.
Compare OneDrive Logical Size with Local Disk Usage
Cloud-backed files require checking local availability before estimating recoverable space.
Handle Access Denied During a Storage Audit
Treat denied access as a coverage limitation and resolve it through authorized access changes.
Why Free Space May Not Increase After Deleting Files
Verify the volume, deletion method and measurement timing before concluding the cleanup failed.
