Quickly locate the bulkiest files on your computer with the help of this simple app
We all know that over time, drive clutter can slow down your computer’s performance. Nowadays, most OSes do a good job of providing users with enough default tools to locate files, including bulky ones.
However, the process can be simplified greatly with the help of specialized apps.
Large Files Finder is a simple cross-platform app that’s designed to do just that – help you instantly find and delete the bulkiest files on your computer’s hard drive.
Why use Large Files Finder?
On most Linux distros, finding large files is not exactly rocket science, but may not be a walk in the park either.
There are two main ways a Linux user can find large files, and both of them involve having to open the Terminal and using either the “find” or the “du” command. And that’s only the finding part, now you have to manually delete them as well.
The main benefit of Large Files Finder is that it does all of this with one single mouse click. You just select the drive (or external storage unit), and click find files.
Everything is displayed in a friendly way via good-looking and easy-to-understand bar or pie charts. The results can be filtered by Size, File, and Extension, making your life even easier.
Simple and effective, little file finder
According to the developer, scanning 1 million files takes somewhere around the half-minute mark (of course, it also depends on your computer’s performance).
It’s true that Large Files Finder is a paid app (being limited to just five large files in the Free version), and it’s also true that it’s not an impressive app by most accounts.
However, it’s fast, it’s easy to use, and it looks rather good. It’s up to you to decide if the premium is worth it or not.
