To do this, I need to change the current view – Content, which does not list specific information, such as last time they were accessed. Now that you have a listing of files that match the size range selected, you will want to sort them by last time you actually used the file (or accessed it). Your view may be different depending on the type of files being searched (documents, videos, etc). Once the search has completed, you should see a list similar to mine shown below with files that are only between 16mb and 128mb in size. NOTE: If the size you chose did not find any files in that range, you can select a smaller or larger size, by clearing the search box and selecting Size again to choose another option to search again. Since I'm looking for big files, selecting Huge (16 128mb) will do just fine. Here, I can use a pre-defined search query for different sizes. One of them is Size under Add a Search Filter. When I do that, notice the options that are available. Once the folder has opened, click in the Search box located at the top upper right of Windows Explorer (with the magnifying glass). Using Windows Searchįor example, say I wanted to clean up my ten gabillion sized music folder that I know I can't live with out, for files that are over 150mb, and sort by last time they were accessed.Īll I need to do is open Windows Explorer (mine is pinned to the taskbar), and open the folder I want to start the search. With a couple of mouse clicks, you can easily find large files and sort them by the last time they were accessed. With newer versions of Windows, such as Vista, 7, 8, etc…, the built in search utility has improved greatly.
