Built to feel at home
A native Windows 11 experience with light and dark themes, familiar controls, and a clear view of your files.
Let it go.
With a little toss.
Collect the files you're ready to part with. Toss them into the cleanup tray, review the exact paths, then send approved items to Windows Recycle Bin.
Adding to the tray doesn't delete anything. You stay in control.

Recycled files still occupy space until they're permanently removed from the Recycle Bin.

Storage Scanner reads file metadata on your PC to build its maps. It doesn't upload your file names, paths, contents, or scan results.
No scan uploads. No ads. No analytics in the app. Your storage stays your business.
Read the privacy policyA few things
before you scan.
Does it run entirely on my PC?
Yes. Scanning and storage visualization run on your device. File metadata and cleanup selections stay local. Microsoft Store separately handles purchase and license information.
Will collecting a file delete it?
No. The tray is a place to collect and review items. You approve the exact paths in a separate review before files are moved to Windows Recycle Bin. Items still in the bin can be restored through Windows.
Does recycling immediately free up space?
Usually not. Recycle Bin keeps the data on the drive until you empty it or permanently remove those files. Storage Scanner keeps measured free space separate from cleanup estimates.
What drives and files can I scan?
Local drives and folders on your Windows 11 x64 PC. Protected and unreadable files, registered cloud-sync folders, links, and cloud placeholders are excluded or marked. Network drives aren't supported. The app explains partial coverage rather than bypassing permissions.
Is there a subscription?
No. The planned release is $9.99 as a one-time purchase, including all version 1 features. Direct website download and Microsoft Store are planned. A release date has not been announced.
Can I turn off the cleanup animation?
Yes. The app provides a cleanup animation setting and respects Windows animation preferences. This website also respects your device's reduced-motion preference.
