MeinPlatz is a compact free utility designed to analyze disk space usage. Unlike Windows Explorer, MeinPlatz provides a more convenient and accurate way to examine the contents of your drives, which can be useful for freeing up space.

Download MeinPlatz

You can download MeinPlatz from the official developer website. The utility is only about 1 MB in size and is available in two formats:

Portable version: for use without installation.

Installer file: for standard installation on your computer.

Features and Usage of MeinPlatz

1) Interface and Structure

MeinPlatz does not offer a graphical display of data like SpaceSniffer or WinDirStat, but uses a tree structure. This may be more convenient for users who prefer a simple text interface.

2) Disk and Folder Analysis

– Select the location to analyze from the left panel or the title bar.

– Wait for the analysis to complete — the utility will display the size, number of files, and other parameters for folders and files.

3) Filters

– You can include only certain file types. For example, to display JPG and MP4 files, use the filter:

*.jpg;*.mp4

– Exclude folders from analysis using the button to the right of the filter input field.

4) Working with Multiple Locations

– To open multiple drives or folders simultaneously, hold Shift while selecting the second and subsequent items.

5) Configuring Displayed Data

– Right-click on the header of any column to configure the displayed information.

Additional MeinPlatz Features

1) Working with Files and Folders

– Delete files and folders, open them in Explorer, or remove them from the list without actually deleting via the context menu.

2) Export and Print

– Export data from the current panel to a file or send it to print.

3) Command Line Usage

– MeinPlatz supports launching with parameters. For example:

MeinPlatz.exe dir=C:\ e=*.exe i=*

In this example:

dir — the drive or folder to open (C:\).

e — items to exclude (*.exe).

i — items to include (*).

Main Controls

– Expanding folders to a certain level.

– Sorting by various parameters.

– Additional features without pop-up hints, which can be explored experimentally.

MeinPlatz is a lightweight and convenient utility for analyzing disk space usage. It is ideal for those looking for a simple tool to understand what is taking up space and to quickly tidy up a disk.
