Disk Xray is a comprehensive disk management tool designed specifically for macOS, integrating the core functions of folder scanner analyzer, duplicate file detector, and disk cleaner. It offers an intuitive visual interface, helping users quickly identify large files occupying disk space, accurately find and manage duplicate files, and safely clean temporary files generated by the system and applications. It serves as a reliable assistant for optimizing storage space and enhancing system performance.

One, Core Interface and Work Area Details

The main interface of Disk Xray is designed with a clear and simple layout, divided into three main functional modules, which can be easily switched through the top toolbar or side panel. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the functions of each area to make your subsequent operations more efficient.

1. Main Toolbar and Side Panel

  • Top Toolbar: Contains core operation buttons such as “Scan”, “Stop”, “Display Mode” (List/Tree), and “Actions” (Move to Trash, Permanently Delete, etc.). These buttons are the foundation for daily operations, and it is recommended to remember their positions.
  • Left Function Panel: Clearly lists the entry points for the three core functions:
    • Folder Scanner (Folder Scanner)
    • Duplicate Finder (Duplicate Finder)
    • Disk Cleaner (Disk Cleaner)

2. Main Work Area Views

  • Tree View/Tree Sun View (Folder Scanner): Displays the occupancy of the disk or folder in a nested ring form. Each ring represents a subfolder, and the width of the ring intuitively corresponds to the space it occupies. Hovering the mouse over the colored ring will display the folder name and size. Clicking on the ring will focus on the internal structure of the folder. This visualization method draws inspiration from classic data visualization design, allowing you to quickly identify which areas are “space eaters” at a glance.
  • List View (All Functions): Displays detailed information about files and folders in a table format, including name, path, size, and modification date. Sorting can be done by clicking on the table headers. This view is best suited for precise file size comparisons.
  • Preview Panel (Partial Views): When a file is selected, a preview of the file’s basic information, such as the thumbnail of an image or the creation date of a document, can be viewed on the right or bottom. This feature is helpful for quickly determining the content of a file.

Two, Complete Operation Flow: From Analysis to Cleanup

The following demonstrates the use of the three core functions in a complete disk space optimization process. This workflow has been proven to be an efficient path through extensive practice, suitable for most users.

1. First Step: Use Folder Scanner to Identify Large File Occupiers

Steps:

  1. Launch Disk Xray and click on “Folder Scanner” in the left side panel.
  2. In the main interface, click on “Choose Folder…” or use the shortcut Cmd + O to select the disk to be analyzed (e.g., “Macintosh HD”) or a specific folder. According to our testing, scanning the entire hard drive usually takes a few minutes, while scanning a single folder is much faster.
  3. Click on the “Scan” button or press Cmd + R to start the scan. The scan progress will be displayed in real-time. The speed of the scan is affected by the number of files. A folder containing thousands of files may be slower.
  4. After the scan is completed, the work area defaults to displaying the tree view. Hovering the mouse over the colored ring will display the folder name and size. The wider the ring, the more space it occupies.
  5. Deep Analysis: Click on a ring to focus on the internal structure of the folder. This process is like peeling an onion, layer by layer.
  6. Switch to the list view: Click on the toolbar’s list view icon to sort by size and precisely view the largest items. The list view provides precise numbers, making it convenient for comparison.

2. Second Step: Use Duplicate Finder to Find and Handle Duplicate Files

Steps:

  1. Click on “Duplicate Finder” in the left side panel.
  2. In the right settings area, add scan locations: Click the “+” button and choose the file folder to be checked for duplicates (e.g., the “Downloads” or “Pictures” folder in the previous step). It is recommended to start with the largest folder for efficiency.
  3. Set duplicate detection conditions (optional):
    • Minimum file size: Ignore small files. For example, set the minimum to 1MB to avoid scanning a large number of small files.
    • File type: Limit to specific types such as images, music, or documents. If you only care about duplicate images, only select the image type.
  4. Click on the “Find Duplicates” button to start the scan. Disk Xray performs byte-by-byte comparison to ensure accuracy. Although this method is slower, it guarantees 100% accuracy.
  5. The scan results are displayed in group form. By default, the recommended retained file (usually the earliest or the one with the shortest path) is highlighted green.
  6. Handle duplicate items:
    • Select the duplicate file copies to be deleted.
    • Click on the “Move to Trash” (Move to Trash) button in the toolbar or right-click to perform this action. The shortcut is Cmd + Delete. This is the safest way to delete.
  • More securely, start by exporting the list using “Export List…” to review it. The exported list can be saved as a CSV file, making it easy to view in Excel.
    • Tip: In the result list, use Cmd + Click to multi-select files in different groups; use Shift + Click to select a continuous range. This tip is very useful when dealing with a large number of duplicate files.

    3. Third Step: Use Disk Cleaner to Clean System Temporary Files

    Steps:

    1. Click “Disk Cleaner” in the left panel.
    2. The interface will list multiple categories that can be cleaned, such as “Application Logs” (application logs), “Browser Caches” (browser cache), “Email Attachments” (email attachments), and “Large Files” (large files). Each category corresponds to a different type of junk files.
    3. Each category has a checkbox. Click the “i” information icon next to the category to view the specific file paths and descriptions within that category. This feature helps you understand what will be cleaned.
    4. Custom Scan:
      • Select the categories you want to clean.
      • For “Large Files” and “Old Files,” click the category title to enter a sub-interface and set file size thresholds (e.g., greater than 100MB) or file existence durations (e.g., over 1 year). For example, you can set to clean all files greater than 500MB and over 6 months old.
    5. Click the “Scan for Cleanable Items” button. After scanning, each category will show the space that can be released. This number will be updated in real-time.
    6. Expand the categories to view the specific file list. You can uncheck the specific files you want to keep. For example, you might want to keep a specific log file.
    7. Confirm that everything is correct, then click the “Clean Selected Items” button at the bottom to execute the cleaning. Some cleaning may require an administrator password. This is a security mechanism in macOS; please enter the correct password.

    Three, Advanced Techniques for Common Features

    After mastering the basic operations, these advanced techniques can help you use Disk Xray more efficiently. These techniques are derived from our long-term use and testing.

    1. Folder Scanner’s Deep Utilization

    • Quick Focus: In the tree view, double-clicking an empty area will return to the parent level. This is faster than clicking buttons.
    • Save and Compare Snapshots: After scanning, you can save the current disk state by clicking “File” > “Save Snapshot”. Later, you can reload it to compare space changes. This feature is very useful for monitoring disk usage trends, such as saving a snapshot weekly to compare space changes.

    2. Duplicate Finder’s Precise Filtering

    • Ignore Specific Folders: When setting the scan location in “Duplicate Finder,” you can add “excluded” folders to avoid scanning system or application core files. For example, you can exclude the system directory to avoid scanning system files.
    • Group by Content Type: Besides grouping by the same file, you can try grouping by “similar images” or “similar music” (based on metadata) to find files with the same content but different formats or resolutions. This is particularly useful for managing photo and music libraries.

    3. Disk Cleaner’s Scheduled Tasks

    • Although Disk Xray does not include scheduled task functionality, you can combine macOS’s “Automator” and “Calendar” features to create workflows that run Disk Cleaner at specific times. The specific method is: create an application in “Automator” to run Disk Xray, then set a reminder in “Calendar” to run this application at specific times. This is a workaround for automation.

    Four, Common Issues and Solutions

    During the use of Disk Xray, you may encounter some issues. We have compiled a list of common issues to help you quickly resolve them.

    Issue Phenomenon Reason Solution
    Scanning is slow 1. The disk or file folder contains an extremely large number of files.
    2. The scan is being performed on a network drive or a slow external hard drive.    		 1. Try scanning the top-level directory first, then drill down to suspicious large folders, rather than scanning the entire hard drive at once.
    2. Avoid scanning directly from network locations; copy the data to a local location first.
    “Disk Cleaner” requires a password, but few items are being cleaned Cleaning certain system caches or logs requires administrator permissions. This is a normal security mechanism. Ensure you have an administrator account and enter the correct password. If you don’t want to frequently enter the password, you can only check the items in the user directory (such as browser cache, download folder, etc.), which typically don’t require a password.
    Important files were mistakenly deleted Failed to confirm before cleaning or deleting duplicate files. 1. Immediately check the macOS “Trash” to recover files if they are there.
    2. Develop the habit of using “Move to Trash” instead of “Delete Immediately” before permanently deleting files.
    3. Before deleting important files, use the “Export List” feature to back up the list.
    Tree view or Sunburst view is unclear or difficult to distinguish colors Too deep file folder hierarchy or too fine ring bands. 1. Use the mouse scroll wheel or touchpad two-finger swipe to zoom in on a specific area of the view.
    2. Switch to list view and sort to get precise information.
    Scan results show system files No exclusion rules were set, causing the scan of the system directory. Before scanning, add exclusion folders in the settings, such as excluding the “/System” and “/Library” directories. This can avoid scanning system files.
    Software prompts “Cannot open” because it cannot verify the developer macOS’s security policy prevents the execution of unsigned applications. Go to “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” > “General,” and click the “Still Open” button. This is the standard security process in macOS.
    After cleaning, the disk space does not change noticeably The cleaned items themselves do not occupy much space, or the scan did not find the “big players” (large files). First, use “Folder Scanner” to locate the largest file folders, then use “Disk Cleaner” or “Duplicate Finder” for targeted cleaning.
    Software is stuck or unresponsive during scanning The scan contains too many files, or it encounters damaged files. Try forcing the software to exit (Cmd + Option + Esc), then restart. For the next scan, consider scanning smaller folders in batches.
    “Duplicate Finder” cannot find duplicate files 1. The scan range is too small.
    2. The files are similar but not exactly the same.    		 1. Expand the scan range to include multiple folders.
    2. Try using the “similar images” or “similar music” feature for searching.
