Note: There’s a gotcha when using it in multi-user environments (like a server).
Users with Administrator access do not have permission to enumerate directories / files inside other Admin users home directories. So any per-user files are not counted in this scenario.

- Dylan16807 2y agoIt can't get to all the files even for a single admin user, you need to do something like run it as system with psexec.
- justsomehnguy 2y agoYes, that's why WinDirStat is a no go at all. Use WizTree, or any other util what reads NTFS MFT directly.
