Finding large files

To find large files in Windows, use the Windows Search feature and use the file size options under the What size is it dropbox. In Unix/Linux, you can use the find utility to do the same thing.

For example, to find files that are larger that 5MB, run:

find . -size +5000k -xdev -print

xdev basically tells find not to descend into directories on other filesystems — through symlinks, etc.
