Find VERY large files.. Command to find them?

[youradds]

Hi,

We seem to suddenly have started taking up 70gb of our 70Gb drive (it was around 63Gb before). On UNIX machines, you can run a command with "find", and specify a "size" paramater, in bytes. Is there an equivelant for Windows Server 2003?

i.e;

find +size=2500000 D:/

TIA

Andy

I use the add-on open source program "Folder Size" works great for breaking down how much real estate a folder and sub folders are taking up on your system.

folder size does install a service to use for calculations on sizes, if you just want a dedicated app that will break it down, you could also try either explorerxp found at

or TreeSize Professional found at

You could goto root and try dir *.* /s /o-s

outputting the results to a text file which you could then pull into excel and sort that way.

I alos have to say I like an app I found some time ago named 'Directory Report'. Creative, I know.

http://www.file-utilities.com

It is a....Directory printer, find duplicate files, rename files, and maintain your files - all in 1 tool

In the words of the publisher. The biggest use I've found for it is finding directories that have a lot of stuff in them by viewing the total size of dir w/subdirs.

9 day fully-functional trial though.

If anyone considers this 'promoting' or 'selling' let me know, I consider it a recommendation, which is different that just coming into the forum and selling.

To do exactly what you were asking for you can just specify it in the "What size is it?" and/or "When was it modified?" section in the all files and folders search.

If it's running FTP make sure that wasn't hijacked... that could easily rack up many GB's quickly...

Ah 7Gb's nothing, 2 people might be backing up their ipod to your server. Don't get paranoid.

Treesize is what I use. Very cool:

Thanks guys, I found the "Folder Size" MSI file the easiest. Found a 14Gb folder.. which was the culprit =)

Thanks again.
