Finding Multiple folder sizes?

Does anyone know of a utility that will help me analyse my HD? my iMac G4 has a 60G HD that is virtually full, which surprises me as my video work is on an external drive.



I can go through each folder at the higher level and Get Info, but that is tedious.



What would be useful if I could run a utility that would show me the top 200 (say) folders in terms of size to help me track down the main culprits.



Or I could as for the first 5 levels only i.e. I could ask for all the folders down to 5 levels and their sizes.



I hope I've made my question clear!



Cheers,



David

    you could open the hard drive, and use list view, go to view options, and have it show all file sizes, and see who the culprit is.

    I've tried that, it's painful.



    OmniDiskSweeper makes it easy, and if you don't use it to actually *delete* the offending folders, but instead just find them, it's free.
