If you quickly want to frеe υp memory space on your Windows machine, the best way to do that is to find large files on your Windows 10 PC and get rid of them if they’re no longer useful. The question though is how do you go about searching for large files on yоur computer?
Windows provides you with multiple ways to find all the large files that are stored in your drives. Either you can use the built-in tools on your machine to look for these files or you can grab a third-party app that will do the task for you.

Find Large Files In Windows 10 Using File Explorer
File Explorer comes with a lot of hidden features to let you organize, sort, and find files on your computer. One of its abilities is to help you find files that are of a specific size on your computer. Using this feature, you can locate those memory-hogging files and get them removed from your PC.
Before you do that, though, you’ll need to first enable the hidden files option. This is to ensure that Explorer looks for large hidden files in addition to searching for the normal files.
However, be cautious when dealing with hidden files. Most of the time, these are system and app-related files which, if you delete, will cause your apps to malfunction and even lead your entire system to crash. Before you delete anything, just make sure you know what it is and you’ll be fine.
Open the Start Menu and search for Show hidden and click on Show hidden files and folders.
When the dialog box opens, click on the View tab at the top. You’ll see various File Explorer options that you can modify.
Find the option that says Show hidden files, folders, and drives and put a checkmark in it. Then click on the OK button to save your changes.
Double-click on This PC on your desktop to launch File Explorer. When the utility launches, click on the search box given at the top-right corner.
A new menu item will be added to the top of your screen. Click on the newly added item that says Search to view further options.
Select the Size option and then select an appropriate option from the list. It’ll let you find large files available on your PC.
If what you consider as a large file isn’t available in the default menu, type in size:>1GB (replace 1GB with your size) in the search box and hit Enter. It’ll only look for files that are larger than your specified size.
When the search results appear, right-click anywhere blank and select Sort by followed by Size and Descending. This’ll ensure the largest file is shown at the top of the results.
Search For Large Files In Windows 10 With Command Prompt

Press Windows + R, type in cmd, and hit Enter to launch the utility.
When it launches, type in the following command and hit Enter. It’ll find all the files that are larger than 1GB in size. You can modify the value in the command so it finds files that you think are large.
forfiles /S /M * /C “cmd /c if @fsize GEQ 1073741824 echo @path > largefiles.txt
