I saw this little gem in file explorer. I think M$ needs to update what is considered gigantic!

Microsoft, "what is you doing?"(meme)

That is gold

Still accurate for pure txt files. But probably not for Explorer for those trying to find out what files are taking their hard drive space up.

Bill Gates is said to have once argued that we will never need 64KB. Maybe microsoft is alluding to this joke 😂

Windows File Explorer is the biggest shit. It doesn't show you the real file system linke a file manager should, it shows tons of useless stuff and information and changes displayed names of files and directories according to strange MS rules. And it's even worse on non-english versions.
I would go crazy without Total Commander when using Windows.

@payb4k The legend has it that Bill Gates said that 640 (not 64) kbytes should be enough for everyone. 640k was a limit of the conventional memory in the first IBM PC. If you required more RAM, you had to use dedicated extended memory drivers. Oh, those were the days...

That _IS_ gigantic. This search is for people that write files in MS Office, text files, code files, etc. People that work. This search would flag basically every non-work file, which you can easily and safely delete unless you work with video or 50 megapixel RAW photos.

Use treesize, it's so much better and the free version is still fantastic

@DucksCanCode

Windirstat for windows, Baobab for Linux, GrandPerspective for OSX.

All three are great free & open source tools for mapping storage space.

@payb4k He never said that, actually. You can look it up.

My school (nothing techy) says in their rules that every thing bigger than 100KB(!) is big...

Looks like someone’s “homework” stash ;-$
