Disk Space Saver 2.1.1

Download and try the simple optimization tool Disk Space Saver for free right here.

If you have been using the same computer for years, there’s a good chance plenty of files are just sitting around taking up space on your hard drive. You can always go through everything manually and delete files yourself, but for most people that’s overwhelming. It’s also not always easy to find exactly where those space-hogging files are hiding.

Fortunately, there are plenty of optimization tools that can do the job for you while you sit back. We’ve tested and reviewed many different cleanup and optimization apps, and several of them have earned high praise. This time we’re looking at 1, and at first glance it fits right in with the best of them.

Why use an optimization tool

As mentioned, using an optimization tool is incredibly convenient. The best ones scan your files quickly and then let you remove what you don’t need. Disk Space Saver does exactly that. On top of this, it gives you a clear overview of which files are unnecessary and where they are located, so you can see what’s filling up your hard drive.

Disk Space Saver is primarily designed to clean up your hard drive. However, some optimization suites can do even more. Ashampoo WinOptimizer can, for example, review your drivers and then update and improve them to squeeze more performance out of your PC. The cleanup you get from Disk Space Saver can also improve performance—especially when it comes to storage.

Safety

When we recommend an optimization tool that automates the process, we’re often asked whether it might delete the wrong data—things you don’t want to lose. The answer depends on the software, but that’s not an issue with Disk Space Saver. It protects system files and folders from being removed, and if the program is unsure whether a file can be deleted, it will ask you first.

If you’ve previously been hit by malware, spyware, or similar threats, there’s a chance remnants may still be hidden in forgotten folders. Using a program like Disk Space Saver helps remove old leftover data, which makes it a great companion to your antivirus software. If you’re looking for a solid antivirus, we refer you to our sikkerhedskategori. Here you can definitely find a good security program that fits your needs.

License and availability

As noted, the download available here is a trial version. If you want full access, you’ll need to pay a minimum price of about $7. If you love the program, you can choose to pay more. The version available here is for Windows, but Disk Space Saver is also developed for Mac OS and Linux. If you want those versions, please use this link.

Other optimization tools

Here at Holyfile.com we have a huge selection of optimization tools, so it’s only fair to highlight a few so you can decide whether one of them might suit you better than Disk Space Saver.

CCleaner is absolutely worth mentioning, as it’s one of the most popular tools we feature—and for good reasons. For starters, it’s available in English and many other languages. It also supports Windows and Mac, which naturally broadens its appeal. CCleaner works much like Disk Space Saver, and choosing between the two ultimately comes down to personal preference. The biggest advantage of CCleaner is that it’s completely free, so you’re not limited by a trial period.

Glary Disk Cleaner isn’t as popular as CCleaner—far from it—but it’s still worth a mention. We reviewed Glary Disk Cleaner some time ago and were pleasantly surprised. The design won’t win awards, but the functionality is top-notch.

An experienced developer

Disk Space Saver is developed by Qiplex, a developer we’ve covered before. Disk Space Saver is not their first software. We previously reviewed the organization tool Hide My Mess, which impressed us. It’s reassuring to know the app you’re downloading comes from an experienced software developer.

Qiplex also has a certain charm: the company was founded by a married couple passionate about creating trustworthy, useful software for everyone. It feels good to purchase a full version when you know your support goes to two dedicated people rather than a large corporation. Despite being a small team, they’re surprisingly quick to answer any questions you might have.

Conclusion

Disk Space Saver is a focused optimization tool, and it handles its job exceptionally well. If you’re looking for a reliable hard drive cleanup utility, Disk Space Saver is an excellent choice. If you want a more comprehensive suite of utilities, check our utilities category for more options.

All in all, Disk Space Saver is a solid piece of software that we’ll continue using whenever we need a quick yet safe cleanup of our hard drives.
