In Windows, if one wants to find which files are consuming most of the space on the disk, it can be found easily using explorer. Just sort list of the files based on the size attribute. But what if we need to find the large sized files from command line? How can we do this?
We can find this using windows commands, without needing any third party tools. We can do this using forfiles command.
My goal would seem simple: to have the file size in a column displayed in kilobytes. After some tries, this seems to work: =tc.size.kbytes The only minor issue is that it won't display the abbreviation of the unit anymore. So it will say something like: 23.543 instead of 23.543 kB So I changed the value to: =tc.size.kbytes kB. Apr 30, 2020 Right-click the file and click Properties. The image below shows that you can determine the size of the file or files you have highlighted from in the file properties window. In this example, the chrome.jpg file is 18.5 KB (19,032 bytes), and that the size on disk is 20.0 KB (20,480 bytes).
- A 1,000,000,000 byte ( 1000^3 ) 1 gigabyte in Windows will show as 0.931323 Gib (Gigabyte) aka GB in Windows explorer. That means depends on how you are looking at the data, Windows is either making it arbitrary less than what it may appear or your file would grow in size when viewed from a different platform.
- Virtual memory can be considered as being an extension of the computer's physical memory. In Windows 10 this file is named pagefil.sys (invisible to the user), and there's an easy way to adjust its default size or disable it. Change Default Virtual Memory Size on Windows 10 Click Start File Explorer.
- Show and calculate file and folder size columns in either KB, MB, GB or TB in Windows Explorer. Show and calculate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 checksum values for all files in Windows Explorer. Export and save Windows Explorer file and folder lists to a csv file.
Find files with size of 1 MB or more.
Show File Size In Mb
Example:
This command prints the complete file path. If you need to print just the file name, you can use @file in place of @path.
Command to find files with size of more than 100MB
Show File Extensions
Find files with size 1 GB or more.
Windows 10 Show File Size In Mb Gb
As shown above, this command allows us to find files having size more than a given value. It’s not useful if someone wants to find the largest 10 files in a folder. I could not find a way to do this using windows native commands. If you know of any way to do this, please let others know by adding comment below.
