Switching guide

From diCleaner to NullDisk

Leaving diCleaner? Good news: disk scans are reproducible. Here's how to carry your workflow over to NullDisk in four steps — without losing track of a single gigabyte.

What you can take with you

diCleaner

diCleaner offers no scan export we could verify — note what its analyzer flags, then re-verify each item in NullDisk before removing.

Step by step

STEP 01

Inventory what matters

diCleaner offers no scan export we could verify — note what its analyzer flags, then re-verify each item in NullDisk before removing.

STEP 02

Run a fresh NullDisk scan

Open NullDisk, pick the same volume or folder, and let it measure everything — allocated size, hard links included. What you see now is ground truth.

STEP 03

Rebuild your cleanup queue

Drag each flagged item into the Ready-to-Remove collector. Review sizes, previews, and paths at leisure — nothing is deleted yet.

STEP 04

Trash once, verify twice

Move the collector to the Trash in one step, then rescan to confirm the reclaimed space. Uninstall the old tool only after the numbers check out.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export reports from diCleaner?

diCleaner offers no scan export we could verify — note what its analyzer flags, then re-verify each item in NullDisk before removing.

Is NullDisk hard to learn after diCleaner?

Most switchers are productive in minutes: the radial map reads instantly, and the collector mirrors the 'gather then delete' habit you already have.
