DESCRIPTION
OmniDiskSweeper is another quality product from The Omni Group, it's a Mac OS X utility for quickly finding and deleting big, useless files and thus making space on your hard disks. OmniDiskSweeper makes this easy by highlighting the biggest files on your disks, and by noting which files are used by the system, so you don't accidentally delete important files.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.7.1:
- Several behind-the-scenes updates to the built-in software update feature, and one very useful new feature: you can now tell software update to ignore a specific update.
- Updated OmniDiskSweeper's crash catcher to be compatible with Snow Leopard.
- New release notes no longer display on launch; they're still available from the software update feed, the download page, and the Help menu.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

DON MORRIS If you simply need to know what's taking up space on your disk, and you don't need a fancy chart to display it, OmniDiskSweeper is the app to use. It's free, Leopard and Intel compatible, and reasonably quick.

THUS.SPAKE.Z Works just fine on my late '08 Macbook Pro core 2 duo. OmniDisksweeper does the job quite well and is now free. Go for it; it's a no brainer. I bought it several years ago and have used it many times without issues.

AKROBAT Used to be a good app. But now virtually unusable as it constantly crashes on my Intel Macbook. Ok on my PPC.

GORDON142 Well, WhatSize has a nicer interface, but DiskSweeper lets you use basically all its functions without registering, which means its still my tool of choice. Honestly, $7 is about the upper limit for an application of this type, I think, but everyone wants moreĀ

SYHARRIS OmniDiskSweeper works just fine, but I'd say WhatSize is really just as good....and it's free. Don't know if WhatSize works with Leopard(yet).....I'm still using Tiger. But give both a spin, and then decide if ODS is worth purchasing.

THEC13 WhatSize is officially not free any longer. Still a great program though.

E_COMMERCE I love the company, but they seriously need to offer more if they expect people to pay for this, given that their competition does the same thing for free. What does it do that WhatSize doesn't? I certainly don't see anything at first or second glance.

JKT It tells you the package (.pkg) source of any application files that use Apple's installer app, but other than that, not a lot.

GXL The WhatSize is not free anymore so that argument can't be used.

ANONYMOUS Another vote for WhatSize, absolutely free. You can find it at www.id-design.com. Alternatively, Tiger users can create a simple Smart Folder with a few rules to immediately identify the big files ... :-)

CHRISBROWNUK Personally I use WhatSize. I prefer the interface and the price (free!).

ANONYMOUS Not worth the money. What this tool does, you can easily do with even just the Finder. Most of the time, you aren't going to be deleting large quantities of files that the Finder cannot see anyway. I could see this as marginally useful if your computer was a major mess and you had no organisation, but then you've got other problems than disk space. This would be handy if it was free. As it stands, it is not worth $15.
