WHERE IS MY SPACE?

How to read the map.

Each row goes one level deeper into the folders. Subdivisions stay within their parent folder’s space: a wider block means a larger logical size. Gaps appear when a branch has no further levels to show.

From overview to detail.

01

Explore at your own pace

Scan a drive or folder. Pause, resume or cancel the scan whenever you need.

02

Find large files

Browse highlighted files and a breakdown by extension, with file counts and sizes.

03

Keep a reference

Save .wims scans and open them even when the drive is disconnected. Export data to CSV.

INSIDE WIMS

Three views. A clearer picture of your disk.

Start with the map, then explore the overview or file details depending on what you want to discover. Each view answers a different question.

01 / OVERVIEW

Where does your space go?

The overview brings together scanned size, file and folder counts, and storage hotspots. Used and free drive capacity has its own bar.

  • Find folders that concentrate space in their own files.
  • Also check confirmed empty folders, zero-byte files and skipped items.

02 / FILES

Which file types take up the most space?

The extension view groups all files read during the scan. Compare counts, total size, average and largest file to understand what is behind the blocks.

  • Sort by file count or size and export the data to CSV.
  • Switch to Large files to browse highlighted files.

03 / EXPLORE AND DECIDE

Zoom in on the source.

Open a folder, explore its map and return to the previous level using the path bar. Zoom with the wheel and pan with the middle mouse button.

  • Open the location in File Explorer or copy a path from the context menu.
  • Renaming and deletion are manual actions. Deletion requires confirmation.

From your first scan to a saved reference.

  1. 01

    Choose where to look

    Select a drive or folder and click Scan. Choosing a location does not start scanning by itself.

  2. 02

    Explore as it progresses

    The map updates during scanning. You can pause, resume or cancel; partial results reflect what has been read.

  3. 03

    Save what you have seen

    Keep the result in a .wims file. Opening it displays the saved snapshot without scanning the original location again.

Before you start

Does WIMS clean my disk automatically?

No. Scanning is read-only. You choose whether to perform a manual operation; WIMS asks for confirmation before deleting.

Can I open a scan from a disconnected drive?

Yes, if you previously saved it as a .wims file. It opens in viewing mode and does not allow renaming or deleting items from that snapshot.

Why can the map differ from Windows used space?

The map represents logical sizes of files read during the scan. Used and free capacity reported by Windows is a different measurement. WIMS displays both separately and skips reparse points.

What happens to folders without access permission?

WIMS records skipped items and issues and continues with what it can read. A folder that could not be read is not treated as empty.

Can I change the app language?

Yes. Choose Spanish or English in Settings without restarting or scanning again. The screenshots on this page show the English interface.

You choose what happens next.

Scanning reads names, paths and sizes without opening document contents. You can manually rename or delete items from the app; deletion always requires confirmation.

WIMS displays logical sizes in binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB). Used and free capacity reported by Windows is displayed separately: these measurements may differ.

Your scan stays on your computer.

Results stay in memory until you choose to save or export them. The developer does not receive your scan data.
