Don’t know what’s going on under the hood? Space Gremlin will investigate for you and return a detailed report. The app scans your hard drive, then delivers an easily navigated tree-map grid of your file system that displays which applications are occupying the most space and which folders are suffering from extreme bloat, with overlays that provide essential feedback. You can then launch any of the directories in a separate Finder window to clean them out, or compress the files and back them up. Space Gremlin also smartly scans Boot Camp partitions, particular folders, and both network and external hard drives.
Feed this gremlin after midnight and it will find out what’s clogging your hard drive.
The bottom line. Space Gremlin’s simple function goes a long way, and is certainly worth the price of a Subway sandwich.
Space Gremlin 1.2
Mac OS 10.6 or later
Cool visual display of where your hard drive space went.
Makes us overly ruthless about deleting files. (Okay, that’s not really a minus. It’s just a great app.)

If you don't mind having Rosetta installed, a little freeware program called Disk Inventory X which is basically a Mac version of the Windows program WinDirStat. Also a very good disk inventory program... This one is certainly much easier to read though...
