Easy way to find large files in Windows 10 so I can delete them all?
I actually started looking up find large files in windows 10 because I was tired of opening hundreds of folders just to see what was eating up my disk space. That's when I stumbled upon Treelens. It's a relatively new tool that scans your drives and shows everything in a visual treemap, which makes spotting those massive files and folders so much easier.
How to Find Large Files in Windows 10:
Scan your drives
Download Treelens from the official GitHub releases page and open the program. Select the drive or folder you want to analyze.
Find the largest files
Review the visual treemap, where larger rectangles represent items using more disk space. You can also check the top-50 files and folders in the side panel.
Check before deleting
Select a large item to inspect its name, location, and size. Drill into folders to identify old downloads, videos, archives, or other files you may no longer need.
Free up space
Select unwanted personal files and use the delete option to move them to the Recycle Bin. Scan the drive again afterward to see how much space you have recovered.
It efficiently scans your drives and lets you review the results in the side panel. A handy duplicate finder is also built in for removing extra copies. For spotting the biggest space hogs, the standout feature is definitely the "Top 50" list—it immediately surfaces the largest files, saving you from manually digging through directories.
✴️Still, verify the file paths before hitting delete—you don't want to accidentally break system or app files. Also, note that files currently in use might be skipped by the scanner.
