Looks like your designers have worked hard to give the app an aesthetic minimalism - which looks fantastic but you might have to compromise it slightly to make the controls more discoverable.
A disk space manager app is only likely to be used every few weeks. Even once the UI is learned, users may forget by the time they use it again. Personally, I'd experiment with having a single left-click trigger a menu strip to appear along the edge of the window. This could list all the functions as words on button labels. Single click to select, double click to drill-in, perhaps? Not very exciting, I know, but perhaps worth experimenting with. Good luck!
