Also note, beware of circular symbolic links which misreport some of the folders. QOpenSys does this, and will misreport the disk space by 10 times the original amount (depth limit for circular symbolic links is 10 by default).

Windirstat does a fairly good job, along with TreeSize Free (tree size has more features). Just point it to \\systemname\ROOT and it will traverse every object on the system (takes a long time to complete FYI)

We are looking for a utility which floats to the top of a report the "low-hanging fruit" larger objects which could possibly be deleted.

For example, a report identifies objects, library, last-used date, create-date and selects any that are > nnn,nnn meg.

We would like to delete objects which haven't been used for awhile or are obviously work files or scratch files which are no longer used.


Anything already on our system such as an IBM utility or TAATOOLS?

Or any freeware on the web that I can download?

Thanks
