問題 (The Question)

SuperUser reader Archa wants to know how to find out what types of data are slowly, but surely, consuming disk space on his computer:

超級使用者閱讀器Archa想知道如何找出緩慢但又肯定會消耗其計算機磁碟空間的資料型別：

For weeks and probably months, I have regularly checked to see how much disk space is still available on my Windows 8.1 system. Over the past few weeks, I have mysteriously lost almost seven GB of disk space (going from 850 GB to 843 GB).

在數週甚至數月的時間裡，我定期檢查Windows 8.1系統上仍然有多少磁碟空間。 在過去的幾週中，我神祕地丟失了將近7 GB的磁碟空間(從850 GB變為843 GB)。

Of note, I recently stopped a computer update, which took up approximately six GB of space. This update appeared to have stalled and never completed installing. I do not download any software and only download a few pictures now and then. Yet, the amount of available disk space still appears to be slowly dropping.

值得注意的是，我最近停止了計算機更新，該更新大約佔用了6 GB的空間。 此更新似乎已停止並且從未完成安裝。 我不下載任何軟體，僅偶爾下載一些圖片。 但是，可用磁碟空間量似乎仍在緩慢下降。

How can I determine where this additional data is coming from?

我如何確定這些附加資料來自何處？

How do you find out what types of data are consuming disk space on your computer?

您如何查詢正在消耗計算機磁碟空間的資料型別？

答案 (The Answer)

超級使用者貢獻者Maximillian Laumeister為我們提供了答案：

To figure out what is using up disk space on your computer, use a piece of software that scans the disk and shows all your directories by size.

要弄清楚計算機上正在使用的磁碟空間是什麼，請使用一款掃描磁碟並按大小顯示所有目錄的軟體。

If you like pie graphs, use HDGraph. It presents your disk usage in a circular pie chart form:

如果您喜歡餅圖，請使用HDGraph 。 它以圓形餅圖形式顯示您的磁碟使用情況：

If you like squares more, use WinDirStat (Download from Ninite). It presents your disk usage in rectangles, where each rectangle represents a folder:

如果您更喜歡正方形，請使用WinDirStat (從Ninite下載) 。 它以矩形顯示您的磁碟使用情況，其中每個矩形代表一個資料夾：
