TreeSize Professional 4.0
Strategies and Tips for Use
TreeSize Professional helps you to manage the files and file space on the drives you are connected to. Display options allow you to customize a scan and its results. File Search allows you locate files based on criteria you choose.
Use Display Options
TreeSize Professional can provide information on drive usage and drive contents. This information can be used to manage file space on a drive. Using the buttons on the Data toolbar, you can customize the display of the scan and the format of the results. For example, you can choose to display file scan results alphabetically by file name or numerically by file size.
Buttons for selecting the display, sorting the results, and changing the format of the results are all found on the Data toolbar. For more information about the buttons on the Data toolbar, refer to TreeSize Professional 4.0: The Environment.
Use File Search
File Search allows you to search any of your network connections for files based on the criteria you set. Using it, you can identify old, large, and temporary files. This will help you make decisions for managing your file space. Moving or deleting files can be implemented from the File Search window. For more information, refer to Using File Search.
Use Alternative Media for File Storage
Based on the information you obtain from a scan or a File Search, you may identify files that you want to keep, but do not need to maintain on your H: drive or a shared drive. In those cases, another storage medium is appropriate. Depending on the number and size of files, you can use one of the following:
- CD-RW
- USB drive (also referred to as jump drive, flash drive)
