    How to sort by file size in Windows 10?


    So i know you can use the bar towards the top in File explorer but if I have a file that within it has a lot of other files its just blank?


    I'm trying to delete games from my steam library which is spread across 4 different drives. So I open the common folder in file explorer and see all of the game names but because they are a folder with lots of files within them it shows nothing for the size. Other than right clicking and looking into the properties or hovering over each file is there a way to just organize them all?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Sorting files and folders by size

    I tried to sort my SD card by size, and it made absolutely no sense. it reallocated all the files (not in a folder ) at the top, and the folder arrangements were not in size order, the first folder on the list were 6.62MB and the last were 632MB, but there
    are folders with 15GB of content in between. if anyone knows anything about sorting out my view, please help me out here.

  4. How to sort by file size in Windows 10?

    Windows 10 can't sort by file size.

    It's impossible to sort the file size in Windows 10.

    I want to clean up my drive and to do that i need to see the biggest folders that are taking up the most space.

    But windows 10 classifies any folders larger than 16MB as "unspecified",which is extremely dumb.

    Because it can only scan files with a file size maximum of 16MB - (which is extremely small - still called "huge")

    I can't sort my files by size and i just get 156 files as "unspecified" being randomly shuffled and i get only a few files that actually fit under 16MB to be properly sorted largest to smallest.
