How do I find the largest folders?
I'm trying to free up disk space on my imac intel running 10.4.11. What I want is a list of folders sorted by folder size. Find will find documents based on size, but not folders. Any suggestions?

Wow, that was quick folks! Thanks so much for the links. I did figure out that I could use a smart folder. So, I made a new smart folder. There are 4 options at the top. I chose "Folders" on the upper right option. Then I went to "View" and chose "View as List". I then clicked on the "Size" column header to sort by size. Better than nothing, but I will check out disk inventory and the other links as well.
Thanks again,
Kevin
