Are you running out of disk space, but unsure what files are taking up all the room?  Download JDiskReport, a Java program that gives you a pie chart-style representation of the files on your hard drive.  Not only can you see which files and folders are largest, you can see a “Top 50″ view of largest files, get a distribution of of file types, and more useful data.  This program is available for Windows and Mac, but also as a web-based application.

Note: For a while I’ve been using Disk Inventory X for the Mac for this purpose, but I like the additional statistical information you get right up front with JDiskReport.
