Windows Capabilities & Architecture

Built for Power Users, Developers, & Creators on Windows

Engineered from the ground up in native .NET 8. DiskWarren bypasses slow legacy Win32 file enumeration to deliver sub-second partition analysis and developer cache discovery.

High-Speed NTFS Metadata Scanner

Standard Windows Explorer takes minutes to calculate folder sizes. DiskWarren utilizes optimized parallel NTFS directory traversal to index over 1,000,000 files across internal and external NVMe SSDs in seconds.

✓ Multi-drive support (C:, D:, E:, network shares, USB 3.2 drives)

Interactive Squarified Treemap

See your entire drive laid out in proportional geometric tiles. Click into any folder block to drill down seamlessly, identify rogue ISOs, large game installs, and hidden virtual machines in real time.

✓ Color-coded by file category (Executables, Media, Code, Caches)

Windows Developer Workspace Intelligence

Windows developer tools quietly accumulate tens of gigabytes of hidden caches. DiskWarren automatically unearths:

  • • Visual Studio (.vs hidden IntelliSense database)
  • • NuGet global package cache (%USERPROFILE%\.nuget\packages)
  • • WSL2 Docker virtual disk bloat (ext4.vhdx)
  • • Node.js node_modules, Yarn, pnpm store
  • • Rust Cargo target & Gradle cache directories

Cryptographic Duplicate Finder

Avoid simple name-based matching that causes false positives. DiskWarren uses a 3-tier verification pipeline: exact file size $\to$ 4KB header comparison $\to$ full cryptographic SHA-256 byte hashing.

✓ Safe 1-click batch selection keeping newest or oldest original

Windows 11 Fluent Design & Mica UI

No clunky web wrappers or Electron memory hogs. DiskWarren is a lightweight, responsive native Windows desktop application with Mica material, system dark mode support, and sub-100MB RAM usage.

✓ ARM64 native binary for Snapdragon X Elite Copilot+ PCs

Explorer Context Menu & WinGet CLI

Right-click any folder or drive directly in Windows File Explorer and select "Analyze with DiskWarren" for instant scoped audits. Supports silent deployment via WinGet and automation flags.

✓ Integrates with modern Windows 11 cascaded context menus
