	You can simply navigate through those visualized folders by clicking on the chart elements or by using keyboard shortcuts.

This information is organized in an virtual size tre. You can swiftly navigate through this tree to display the folders structure via Size Tree, Pie Chart or Bar Chart. Anytime you can open the current folder with the embedded explorer, zoom into the charts, delete or move folders.
