There seem to be a few of these in Github, found this one recently it seems to do a reasonable job. The real problem is its bash script you need WSL2 to run it on windows.

What I like is the output is CSV files that are spreadsheet friendly and can be used to analyze and remove files in bulk.

Czkaaka (CLI version) output file can be used to delete stuff in bulk but doesn't list directories separately you have to through files individually.
