Any Way to Search and Delete Very Large Files ?

[Guest Talal Itani]

Hello,

 

I noticed that my disk drive has some very large files. Some wav, other

tiff. These are files that I have created and forgot. Is there a way to

list all very large files, so that I can examine them, and then delete some

of them?

 

Thanks

Search has a "Size"criteria, "At least ____", In the advanced Search

options. A value of 10,000 equates to a base search of 10 Megabyte

files and larger.

Try this:

- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}

- Type these commands:

xxcopy.exe /L c:\*.* /s /sz:1000000- c:\ > c:\test.txt{Enter}

notepad c:\test.txt{Enter}

You need to download xxcopy.exe from one of the many

sites where it is available and copy it to c:\Windows. The

number "1000000" represents the size of the files you're

looking for.

Use the Details View in Explorer and sort by descending file size. Then

highlight and delete as necessary.
