Exclude files or folders for scans

Question / Problem

Is there any way to exclude certain files or folders from a scan?

Answer / Solution

TreeSize offers the possibility to use filters for this. Please navigate to "Scan" -> "Filter" -> "Customize filters". There you can define criteria to exclude files or directories.

 

Two examples:

1: Name     does not match     thumbs.db   would only include objects that are not named "thumbs.db" (= excludes files that have this name).

2: Full Path     does not start with     C:\Windows   excludes the "C:\Windows" directory and all its subfolders and files from the scan.
