Is there a way to find files that take up space?

[Hugbees]

My computer is a bit unorganized right now, and it will take some time to straighten everything up.

Is there an easy way of doing it? A program perhaps that takes every folder or file and arranges it from largest to smallest? Or something?

I like GrandPerspective. It gives you a graphical view of disk space usage and lets you easily see where big files are at.

Quick and simple way - couldn't you just do a smart search of all files above a certain size? 100 MB, or a GB etc

I second the reply that recommended omni disksweeper. I think it was recently made freeware, so that's a plus

Or, you could use list view in the finder, turn on calculate sizes, and click on size in the window to organize by size.

The few times I've needed to do this it has worked fine. Not pretty and not as easy as the recommendations above, but if you have a clue as to where the problem files are, it should work.

Mooch

Another decent free one is Disk InventoryX which you can find at http://www.derlien.com/
