Disk Inventory X
I have an 80 GB hard drive, and it's always on the verge of filling up. Most of the files are podcasts, music, and videos. To reclaim space, every month or so I go through the disk, deleting applications and files I don't need any longer.
A free application for Macintosh OS X called Disk Inventory X is a wonderful visual tool that shows me which folders and files are taking up the most space on my computer. It color codes the files by type, making it easy to pinpoint the storage hogs. One of the most common culprits are AIFF files that I have yet to convert to MP3s. I've also found duplicate email folders and iPhoto volumes using Disk Inventory X. It's a must-have utility. Link

The snazzy 3-D look is an exact match for a Windows utility that does a similar job called WinDirStat. I don't know who came up with it first.
