Alright so lately, I haven't exactly been my nerdy little self by deleting all my unused and unwanted folders, files, etc. on my computer, and a lot has cluttered up! So I was wondering if theres something like a file manager that you guys know of that I could get for free? I just thought of this when I was using my Droids file manager haha

Thanks!!

Well nothing is going to move files into folders automatically exactly the way you want it.

You have to do that by hand.

I havent tried this software
http://www.explorerplusplus.com/ so dont blame me if it wrecks your system ( i doubt it will ) but thats as close as youl come to something of the sorts. Its just an advanced version of windows explorer.

Haha i can see the future now.

Just something that allows me to easily go through my files, I tried the software Master Man suggested and it's working decently almost the same as going through by myself though haha

I'm with Phaelax. Windows Explorer is just as effective as any other file manager and it's already on your computer... no download/purchase required.

Alright, Thanks for all the help guys, it was kinda a dumb question to ask, but had to ask it never the less. Thanks!

I like FreeCommander at work. Great for remembering what folder you were in last and having tabs so can have loads open in one window. And for finding clusters of data to remove then I've always used SequoiaView. Brilliant for easily finding and drilling down to loads of stuff to delete. For instance I was running out of space one day and I used SequoiaView to realise that a program I used to convert my wedding videos kept a temporary directory of the conversions. Considering it was all 1080p stuff then it was quite a few GB.

Cheers
