To locate large files on your hard drive, you can:
Step 1. Open File Explorer and enter the target drive.
Step 2. In the search box on the top right, input size:gigantic (files larger than 128 MB), size:large or size:huge for different requirements.
Step 3. Then, you will get a list of all the files matching the specified size criteria.
Or, you can use tools like EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional, which offers clear interface and multiple choices for those files.
This tool allows you to scan all the large files on each partition. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Open EaseUS Todo PCTrans and go to "Large File Cleanup."
Step 2. Click "Start," select the target drive(s), and hit "Scan."
Step 3. Then, you can view the large files and some details in the next interface.
Step 4. Choose "Move" or "Delete" to free up hard drive space.
Besides operating on files, this tool also supports application management. You can use it to transfer apps from PC to PC or from drive to drive. Also, you can scan programs on your computer and uninstall them from a clear list.
