   Ncdu for Windows   
   https://github.com/itefixnet/wincdu   
   https://github.com/itefixnet/wincdu/releases   
      
   And it's BSD 2 clause licensed.   
      
   I'll check it out.   
      
   My 2TB SSD was like 95% full, so I wrote that python program to capture   
   file metadata and figure out what's up.  I found I had downloaded ~150GB   
   of .mp4 files (not porn).   
      
   Windows has a built-in 'Storage Usage' app that analyzes your drive and   
   points out directory sizes, but I wanted more detail than it provides.
