SizeTrend How-To

My computer loses a few gigabytes every day. How can I find where the new files are being created?

1. If you can wait until the next time free space is lost, save the current scan with Filter | Compared to Scan | Save Current Scan. Later, relaunch SizeTrend or refresh the current scan and compare it to the saved scan with Filter | Compared to Scan | Previously Saved Scans. SizeTrend will show only the difference between the current and saved scans.
2. Look for recently changed or created files. Click Modified in past... or Created in past... and select the appropriate time range, such as 7 days. SizeTrend will show only the recent files.

I received a SizeTrend license key. Where do I enter it?

Select the Help ribbon, click Register, and enter the SizeTrend license key.

SizeTrend shows some files in blue. What does that mean?

SizeTrend uses these colors for file state:

• Blue: the file is already compressed, or its data is downloaded on demand, such as an iCloud or OneDrive cloud-only file that has not been locally downloaded yet.
• Gray: a hidden file that Windows hides from the user, such as swapfile.sys.
