Low disk space in windows (having weblogic server)...

Of late, I found that - suddenly my windows operating system started warning me about the low disk space. I had atleast 50Gig space free for sure. I had no clue of what is clogging my hard drive and the only clue is it's a development box. When I was badly in need for a tool, which can walk through my hard drive and give me a easy report of what is occupying my disc ,the most space, I stumbled upon this open source tool - WinDirStat

The tool gives exactly what I needed. It runs over the hard drive and computes a clear report of which file/folder is occupying the most disc space. Check the below snapshot.


Problem on my PC: The data source configured on my weblogic server was pointing to a Oracle DB server which is heavily loaded and not responding. The server log on which the data source was targeted started growing slowly due to this issue's stack trace and bloated so high - 50Gig in a matter of 2 days (very surprising) . After bringing down the server and pruning the log files, the issue got resolved.
