Best app for finding out space hog?
 
I have a Sprint Touch (HTC Vogue) I just checked the space on my storage card (via ram-like icon, upper right) and it says "In use 481.17 MB, Free: 2.39 MB" Yikes. I just did a hard reset a few days ago (for another issue).
I can't find any big files on the storage card using activesync's "explore" option. Anyone have any suggestions of any apps? On my pc, I use windirstat, which shows a great map of the hard drive.

I don't want to buy a new storage card, I want to find out what is filling up the space. I have tried Flash Format and Total Commander and neither one seems to help me with the visualization/information I am seeking. Suggestions welcome.

you could always connect to active sync and from there go to..my computer/HTCPHONE(or whatever you named your device)/ then select storage card....from there just right click on folder and see the size of each one....but seriously 512mb sd card just aint gana cut it, dont be cheap go buy a 5 dollar 1 gig or something online....sd card are extremely cheap these days.

I think this may be what your looking for:

MobileMonger is a tool to show storage space use on your Windows Mobile in a TreeMap.

I figured it out using the basic file explorer and by the process of elimination. I looked at all the other directories and nothing had very large files. Finally, in the Live Search directory, I had TONS of separate directories. Inside those directories, TONS more. I think there were five or six levels of subdirectories. Removing the program didn't help. I had to go and delete them. I did it in chunks and it took me over an hour.

Now, I have half my storage card empty. And yes, I'll go and get a new one, soon.

Thanks everyone, for your help. I'll check out mobile monger (love that name) too.

Wow what a great little app. Is there a windows equivalent? I love the way they display the information.
