Largest Files Tab

The Largest Files tab ranks the scanned files by the disk space they take, largest first, from every scanned folder or from one folder you choose. It lists up to 1,000 files.

The Largest Files tab, limited to one folder, with three files selected

The header

On the left, how many files are listed and their total size, such as Largest 1,000 files of 48,210 ยท 212 GB total, followed by the number and size of any selected files.

Limit to selected folder narrows the list to the files inside the folder selected in the folder tree, and the folders inside it. While the list is limited, a strip under the header names the folder; click the cross cross at its end to go back to every scanned folder. The list does not follow the folder tree by itself: select another folder and press the button again to change it. The folder tree's right-click menu has a shortcut for this, Show largest files in folder.

Mark Selected marks the selected files, with their number in parentheses, such as Mark Selected (3), and reads Unmark Selected when all of them are already marked. Ctrl+M does the same.

The list's columns, from left to right:

  • A checkbox checkbox, which marks the file for deletion.
  • #: the file's rank.
  • A status sign: what the duplicate search found, with the same signs as on the Folder Contents tab.

  • Path: the folder the file is in.
  • Size: the disk space the file takes.
