当计算机系统长时间使用时,内存空间被堵塞,Windows性能变得迟缓。如果您注意到您的硬盘空间正在慢慢填满,那么释放一些内存空间就变得势在必行。最好的方法之一是largest files on Windows 11/10如果它们不再有用,则将其删除。同样(Again),如果不希望永久删除此类文件,您可以将它们移动到外部硬盘驱动器或云存储,以便您的Windows系统有足够的可用空间并且其性能不受影响。
如何在 Windows 10 上找到最大的文件
有多种方法可以找到存储在Windows驱动器中的所有大文件,我们即将揭穿它们;继续阅读。
Windows 11/10 上的硬盘已满
您可以使用以下方法在Windows 10中按文件大小搜索文件:
- 使用文件资源管理器
- 使用命令提示符
- 使用免费的第三方工具
让我们更详细地了解这些解决方案中的每一个。
1]使用文件资源管理器
文件资源管理器(File Explorer)是组织和管理计算机上文件和文件夹的绝佳工具。它使我们可以在不同的硬盘分区中创建多个文件夹,以便我们可以快速访问我们想要的文件。有时,我们需要在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中搜索大于特定大小的文件。在这种情况下,我们可以对搜索应用过滤器。
视窗 11
通过在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)搜索栏中键入以下语法,您可以在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中轻松找到最大的文件或任何大小的文件:
Size: >xyz GB
在上面的语法中,GB是文件大小的单位,xyz代表文件的大小。例如,如果要搜索大于 50 GB 的文件,语法应如下所示:
Size: >50 GB
要搜索较小的文件,您可以将单位 GB 替换为 B、KB 或 MB。如果要搜索小于特定大小的文件,则必须使用小于号登录语法,如下所示:
Size: <xyz GB
此语法也适用于特定文件的名称。例如,如果要搜索名称为“视频(Video)”的特定大小的文件,则必须在语法前输入Video 。看一看:
Video Size: >xyz GB
根据需要更换(Replace)尺寸单位。
如果要在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中查找特定大小范围内的文件,则必须根据您的要求在语法中包含以下任何文本(不包括大小范围):
- 空 (0 KB)
- 小 (0 – 16 KB)
- 小型 (16 KB – 1 MB)
- 中 (1 – 128 MB)
- 大 (128 MB – 1 GB)
- 巨大(1 - 4 GB)
- 巨大 (>4 GB)
让我们看看如何在语法中包含这些文本以查找特定范围内的文件。如果要搜索大小在 1 到 128 MB 之间的文件,语法应如下所示:
尺寸:中号(Size:Medium)
同样,如果要查找大小从 128 MB 到 1 GB 的文件,则必须使用如下语法:
尺寸:巨大(Size:Huge)
在文件资源管理器中开始搜索后,(File Explorer)菜单(Menu)栏上会出现一个名为“搜索选项(Search options)”的新菜单。这意味着搜索选项菜单将保持隐藏状态,直到您在(Search options)文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中执行搜索查询。您还可以使用此菜单对文件资源管理(File Explorer)器中的搜索应用过滤器。为此,请转到“ Search options > Size ”并从列表中选择所需的选项。
请注意,文件资源管理器(File Explorer)会搜索当前目录中的文件。如果要查找所有磁盘分区中的文件,则必须在这台电脑(This PC)中搜索。同样,如果要搜索特定磁盘分区(例如 Local Disk F )中的文件,则必须在Local Disk F中搜索。
视窗 10
我们认为文件资源管理器是在(File Explorer)Windows中查看文件的基本工具,但在这里我们将其用作文件管理应用程序。很少有特定的文件资源管理器功能可让您在(File Explorer)Windows 10上轻松组织文件并快速过滤掉大文件,即使它们默认隐藏在视图之外。跟着这些步骤:
- (Open File Explorer)通过单击Windows 10 任务栏上显示的文件夹图标(Taskbar)打开文件资源管理器。或者,您可以按快捷键“ Windows + E ”。
- 要搜索您的整个计算机,请选择出现在左侧窗格中的“这台电脑”。(This PC)请注意,如果要查看特定驱动器,请选择该驱动器。
- 现在在“搜索框”(Search Box’)中输入“尺寸:(size:) ”
- 您现在必须从选项列表中选择适当的选项。尺寸选项包括:
- 空 (0 KB)
- 微小 (0 – 10 KB)
- 小型 (10 – 100 KB)
- 中 (100 KB – 1 MB)
- 大 (1 – 16 MB)
- 巨大的 (16 – 128 MB)
- 巨大的 (> 128 MB)
在本指南中,我们旨在搜索Windows 10上最大的文件,因此我们选择了“巨大”(Gigantic’)选项。
请注意(Please note)-如果您在预定义的选项中找不到合适的尺寸,Windows允许您自定义自己的尺寸过滤器。(Windows)您将需要在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)的搜索框中键入所需的过滤条件- “大小:>250MB”。
选择完大小后,您可能需要等待几分钟才能让文件资源管理器(File Explorer)完成对整个驱动器的搜索。等到(Wait)状态栏完成填充顶部。
搜索完成后,在“查看”(View’)选项卡中选择“详细信息”。(Details’.)
单击“大小”(Size’)列按最大到最小对文件进行排序。
您现在可以查看文件列表并删除您认为无用的文件。您可以删除的ISO文件、日志(Log)文件、程序安装程序和临时文件。(Program)如果要删除此搜索中出现的任何文件,请右键单击它并选择“删除”(Delete’)。此外,如果您想传输任何文件,请右键单击它并选择“打开文件位置(Open file location)”。然后,您可以将其传输到系统或外部硬盘驱动器上的位置。
重要(Important)- 大多数隐藏文件都与系统和程序有关。删除它们时要小心,因为它可能导致您的程序崩溃,甚至导致整个系统崩溃。在决定删除它之前了解它是什么类型的文件,以免破坏程序或删除重要数据。

2]在Windows 11/10使用命令提示符(Using Command Prompt)
精通技术的人可以使用命令提示符在(Command Prompt)Windows 10上定位大文件。请参考以下步骤:
- Windows + R ”打开“运行”(Run’)对话框
- 键入“ cmd”并按“ Enter”以启动命令实用程序。
- 打开后,复制粘贴以下命令并按“ Enter”
FORFILES /S /C "cmd /c if @fsize GTR 1048576 echo @path"
请注意(Please note)- 此命令中的“1048576”表示 1MB(1024 * 1024 = 1048576 字节)。您可以根据您的要求对其进行修改。具体来说这个命令,它会查找所有大于1GB的文件。
您现在可以在命令提示符(Command Prompt)窗口中找到特别列出的文件并将它们从系统中删除。

Hard drive full? How to find the largest files on Windows 11/10?
When computer ѕystems are used for а lоng period, memory space is clogged and Windows performance getѕ sluggish. Іf you notice your hard disk space is slowly filling uр, freeing up some memory space becomeѕ imperatiνe. Onе of the best ways to start with is by findіng the largest files on Windows 11/10 and getting rid of them if they are no longer useful. Again, if do not wish to delete such files permanently, you can move them to an external hard drive or cloud storage so that your Windows system has enough free space and its performance is not affected.
How do you find the largest files on Windows 10
There are multiple ways to find all the large files stored in your Windows drives, we are about to debunk them; keep reading.
Hard drive full on Windows 11/10
You can search for files by their size in Windows 10 by using the below methods:
- Using the File Explorer
- Using Command Prompt
- Use free third-party tools
Let us look at each of these solutions in more detail.
1] Using the File Explorer
File Explorer is a great tool to organize and manage files and folders on your computer. It lets us create multiple folders in different hard disk partitions so that we could access the files that we want quickly. Sometimes, we require to search for files larger than a specific size in the File Explorer. In such a case, we can apply a filter to our search.
Windows 11
You can easily find the largest files or the files of any size in the File Explorer by typing the following syntax in the File Explorer search bar:
Size: >xyz GB
In the above syntax, GB is the unit of the file size and xyz represents the size of the file. For example, if you want to search for files greater than 50 GB, the syntax should look like this:
Size: >50 GB
To search for the smaller files, you can replace the unit GB with B, KB, or MB. If you want to search for files less than a particular size, you have to use the less than sign in syntax, like this:
Size: <xyz GB
This syntax also works with the name of a particular file. For example, if you want to search for files of a specific size with the name “Video,” you have to type Video before the syntax. Have a look:
Video Size: >xyz GB
Replace the unit of the size as per your need.
If you want to find the files within a particular size range in the File Explorer, you have to include any of the following text in your syntax (without the size range) as per your requirement:
- Empty (0 KB)
- Tiny (0 – 16 KB)
- Small (16 KB – 1 MB)
- Medium (1 – 128 MB)
- Large (128 MB – 1 GB)
- Huge (1 – 4 GB)
- Gigantic (>4 GB)
Let’s see how to include these texts in your syntax to find the files within a particular range. If you want to search for the files, the sizes of which lie between 1 and 128 MB, the syntax should look like this:
Size:Medium
Similarly, if you want to find the files ranging from 128 MB to 1 GB in size, you have to use the syntax like this:
Size:Huge
After you start searching in the File Explorer, a new menu, named Search options appears on the Menu bar. This means that the Search options menu remains hidden until you execute a search query in File Explorer. You can also use this menu to apply a filter to your search in File Explorer. For this, go to “Search options > Size” and select the desired option from the list.
Do note that File Explorer searches for the files in the current directory. If you want to find the files in all the disk partitions, you have to search in This PC. Similarly, if you want to search for the files in a particular disk partition, say Local Disk F, you have to search in Local Disk F.
Windows 10
We consider File Explorer a basic tool for viewing files in Windows, but here we will be using it as a file management application. Few specific File Explorer features let you easily organize your files and quickly filter out large files on Windows 10, even if they are hidden from view by default. Follow these steps:
- Open File Explorer by clicking on the folder icon that appears on the Windows 10 Taskbar. Alternatively, you can press the shortcut ‘Windows + E’.
- To search your whole computer, select ‘This PC’ appearing in the left pane. Note, if you want to look into a specific drive, select that instead.
- Now in the ‘Search Box’ type ‘size:’
- You will now have to select an appropriate option from the list of options. The size options include:
- Empty (0 KB)
- Tiny (0 – 10 KB)
- Small (10 – 100 KB)
- Medium (100 KB – 1 MB)
- Large (1 – 16 MB)
- Huge (16 – 128 MB)
- Gigantic (> 128 MB)
In this guide we aim to search for the largest files on Windows 10, hence we selected the option ‘Gigantic’.
Please note – Windows allows you to customize your own size filters if you do not find the suitable size in the predefined options. You will need to type the desired filter condition in the search box of the File Explorer as – ‘size: >250MB’.
Once you are done selecting the size, you may have to wait for a few minutes to allow the File Explorer to complete the search on your whole drive. Wait until the status bar completes filling the top.
When the search is completed, in the ‘View’ tab select ‘Details’.
Click on the ‘Size’ column to sort the files by largest to smallest.
You can now look through the list of files and delete the ones you think are of no use. ISO files, Log files, Program installers, and temp files that you can get rid of. If you want to delete any file appearing in this search, right-click on it and select ‘Delete’. Furthermore, if you wish to transfer any file, right-click on it and select ‘Open file location’. Then, you can transfer it to your location on the system or an external hard drive.
Important – Most of the hidden files are related to systems and programs. Be cautious while removing them as it can cause your programs to breakdown and even lead to an entire system to crashing. Know what type of file it is before you decide to delete it so that you do not break a program or remove important data.
