search for file
Hi,
I have a spike on my c: which is taking up nearly all of the drive. Is there a quick way I can do a search for large files/ recent large files or anything that will point me to where the culprit file is.
the os is win 2008
thanks a lot

Sorry, if you would like to see a files at least take a 10 MB then write number 10000.
But if you would like to REALLY remove the garbage than download and use CCleaner:

Just run select a Cleaner tag on the left and press Analyze button. After several minutes there will be shon in MB or GB how much garbage you have.
And after Analyzing finish just press Run Cleaner button and you will be very satisfied.

The best file searching application IMHO is Agent Ransack
Definitely on Windows 7, 2008 & 2010 as the inbuild search is rubbish.
It's very powerful and you can search for files over a certain size and amended or created within a time frame.

If you want an indication as to where you disk space is going to , Space Sniffer is a great tool to display in a graphical format your drive and space taking up by files / folders
