    So, for those of you who don't know, SpaceSniffer is an excellent tool to gauge what might be taking up space on your computer. It measures it all and makes different sized boxes for each item to show how large it is.

    I decided to run this program for the first time after hearing about it from a friend. This is what happened.

    That is actual really funny! I was just using space sniffer myself to get ride of random stuff I had laying around on my hard drive so I could fit moar steam games. It turns out World of Tanks and World of Warplanes had about 35 gbs of update files that I didn't need so I deleted them (the idea is basically that if your World of Tanks or World of Warplanes ever got corrupt you could reinstall right away instead of redownloading....). But yeah no that tool is really useful :D
