When your hard drive is full of junk and you have no idea what's taking up all of the space, you have plenty of options to help you sort out which files are necessary and which can be archived or deleted. Last week we asked you which apps you use to analyze your hard drive and see what's using all of your storage. Then we took a look at the top five based on your nominations and put them to a vote. Now we're back to highlight the winner.

WinDirStat was the clear winner with over 65% of the vote. No one else even came remotely close, with the second place prize going to TreeSize, with close to 12%. Third place went to SpaceSniffer, coming in with under 10%, and DaisyDisk for Mac took fourth with just under 9%. Bringing up the rear is Space Monger, with 4.5% of the votes cast.
