Empty / 0-Byte / Junk File Finder
Classify common cleanup clutter locally in the browser so you can see what is safe to remove.
Open toolDisk triage
Folder Size Scanner Lite
Pick a local folder and see which immediate child directories consume the most space. Browser walk, not NTFS MFT, but fast enough for hotspot triage.
Open toolPhoto privacy utility
Photo Metadata Privacy Checker
Scan local photos for common EXIF privacy leaks and download stripped copies client-side when the browser can safely re-export them.

What this tool does
- Brings duplicate, junk, folder-size, and file-type signals together in one report.
- Counts a file only once when duplicate and junk findings overlap.
- Exports an aggregate-only report without filenames, paths, or file contents.
Runs locally and changes nothing
See what is taking space before you touch a file.
Storage Autopsy reads the folder you select in your browser, then organizes the findings into a report you can act on. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is changed.
Local processing
Run a folder health check
Choose one folder. The browser reads file names, sizes, types, and local duplicate candidates on this device.
Ready to inspect
Your browser is using the directory-selection fallback. The scan remains local, but empty folders cannot be detected.
How the report works
See the findings before you clean up.
The browser handles the first inspection locally. Use Dupe Zappa for guarded deletes, moves, rename rules, and undo history.
What it checks
File sizes, top-level folder hotspots, file types, exact duplicate candidates, lightweight image similarity, and conservative junk patterns.
What "recoverable" means
It is a review estimate, not an instruction to delete. Overlapping duplicate and junk paths count once. Use a preview-first workflow for any changes.
Know the browser limit
Native directory access can see empty folders. Browser fallback can inspect readable files but cannot verify empty directories.
FAQ
Before you run the check.
Does Storage Autopsy upload my files?
No. The folder listing, duplicate pass, and report are processed in your browser. File names, paths, and file contents are not sent to Dupe Zappa servers.
Can it delete or change anything?
No. Storage Autopsy is a read-only inspection tool. It only reports possible cleanup candidates. Use Dupe Zappa on Windows when you want preview-first deletes, moves, renames, and undo history.
What does potentially recoverable space mean?
It combines the sizes of duplicate and conservative junk candidates, counting an overlapping file once. Treat it as an estimate for review, not a recommendation to delete everything shown.
Can I scan an entire drive?
You can select a mounted drive or a large folder, but browser folder walks can take time and depend on browser permissions. For very large Windows volumes, Dupe Zappa provides the deeper desktop scan and progress controls.
Why are empty folders sometimes not counted?
Native directory access can inspect empty folders. If your browser uses the fallback directory picker, it exposes files but not empty directories, so the report marks that value as unavailable instead of treating it as zero.
