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.
