Sure does, but that’s not exactly what I’m looking for unfortunately since it doesn’t delete files such as big forgotten movie files!
Answer #3
for forgotten movies? search for avi/img/mkv/iso files and delete that way…then use cc claner for the rest!

If you have any applications such as Tune Up Utilities, Auslogics Boost Speed, Advanced System Care etc., they have built in utilites to analyze and explore the space on your hard drives.

I just use the computer search with various strings. Like “*.rar” bigger than 80MB or any file bigger than 400MB to find films/other files I forgot about

Works too, but the program proposed is more than amazing. It actually helped me find installer in the /windows/ folder that were completely unnecessary.
I just cleared 20GB in a matter of seconds, thanks again

Answer #9
“everything” is also a good search tool
I just search by size
I start with something like 100000000000 in the size field
then just keep dropping zeros 1 @ a time

Look for a tool called WinDirStat, it’ll show big files as a big block, you can then delete or move them as you wish (file name is shown with hover or right click).
Answer #11
i prefer SpaceSniffer to WinDirStat…
