Murrel Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have a number of large files that I would like to delete. The easiest place to find them is on defraggler where fragmented files from all directories are listed in file size order. Having to record where those files are and then deleting from each directory individually takes time that I often do not have. Is there another work around? C-Cleaner has the duplicate file deletion which is great, but I also need to just find the very large files to delete before running defraggler.

Moderators mta Posted September 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2014 no need to record those files, you can right click each one and select Open Containing Folder. not much faster admittedly, but saves you writing them down. another method, do a Windows Search based on file size, for example, find all files greater than 50meg. again, you are still going to have to go into each folder to do the leg work. I don't think there is any getting around that fact, plus I'd want to do that task manually just to confirm the right file is being deleted. or use a free, 3rd party program, like TreeSize to show you where the largest files are residing. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
