How to quickly find and delete large files on windows 11
How to find and delete large files on Windows 11? Disk Cleanup on Windows 11 is a useful tool for freeing up disk space by removing unnecessary files like temporary data, system cache, and old system files. However, it doesn't specifically help you find or target large individual files for deletion. Instead, it works by cleaning up broad categories of junk files automatically.
In essence, Disk Cleanup is designed to quickly reclaim space without requiring you to manually select large files. You just run the tool, select the types of files to delete, and it handles the rest. It’s a convenient way to clear up space without needing detailed knowledge of your files.
But if your goal is specifically to find and delete large files on Windows 11, Disk Cleanup isn’t the ideal tool. For that, you'd need to use search features in File Explorer or specialized disk space analysis tools that let you identify large files and manually delete them.
