Find Largest Files in Windows File Explorer

There are many tutorials on the Internet on how to find the largest files using Windows File Explorer. Though it is much more difficult and complicated I have provided detailed instructions on how to do that below.

1. Press the File Explorer button on the Windows 10 taskbar or press WIN+E to start Windows File Explorer
2. Select the drive or folder that you want to search.
3. Click on the Search box at the top-right of Explorer’s window to open the Search tab.
4. Select All subfolders.
5. Click the Size button.
6. Select the Gigantic (>128 MB) option to search for the largest files.
7. Select the files that are not needed and press the Delete button to remove them.

While this is not an overly-complicated tutorial, it is much more difficult than using Folder Size Explorer. Also only files that are over the specified file size are listed which may not always be convenient. Folder Size lists the top 100 largest files in a folder and all its subfolders. You do not need to specify minimum size. Also you do not need to search again if you want to analyze another folder or drive. Just click on it and the largest files that are inside will be listed instantly.
