Use a windows command to list file sizes
Hi, I am looking for a Windows command or tool to list file sizes larger than a specified size. I thought FORFILES could help me, but I am not sure it can do the job.
Example problem:
A folder with a large number of subfolders and files, and an easy way to find the largest files searching all subdirectories, and listing up those files taking up much space.

Post if this solve you problem!
Hello Cesar,
You can use "Dir /S", with this parameter you can search all files in Subfolders... complementing, you can add "Sortorder S" to filter by size of the file.
Follow the example;
Cd /d %Windir%
Dir /S *Framework sortorder S
Basically, I went into the
directory C: \ Windows and search
all files with "frame" in its name, filtering
by size.

Not exactly what I was looking for unfortunately.
I need the list of the directories and files with the filesize on the largest files, lets say 100 MB as an example of the search criteria
I tried the following command:
forfiles /p c:\test /s /m *.* /c "cmd /c if @fsize>>100000 echo @fsize is a file of 100 MBs"
Gives me an error
>> was unexpected at this time.
Can I modify this command and use it?Freddy
