If you want to find files over 1 GB (gigabyte), here\u2019s how to do that:\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 Searching for files over 1 GB\n\n- Type this in the **search box** (top-right corner):  \n  `size:>1GB`  \n  This will show files larger than 1 gigabyte. ([intowindows.com](https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-search-for-large-files-in-windows-10/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- If you want a range, for example between 1 GB and 5 GB:  \n  `size:>1GB <5GB` ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-large-files/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d Using the built-in size filters\n\nWhen you click in the search box, a **Search** tab/ribbon appears with a \u201cSize\u201d menu. There are pre-defined categories you can use:\n\n| Filter name | File size range |\n|-------------|------------------|\n| Large       | ~128 MB to 1 GB ([windowsloop.com](https://windowsloop.com/filter-files-by-size-in-file-explorer/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Huge        | ~1 GB to 4 GB ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-large-files/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Gigantic    | > 4 GB ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-large-files/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\nSo instead of typing size:>1GB, you could use the \u201cHuge\u201d or \u201cGigantic\u201d filter depending on how big you want \u201clarge\u201d to be. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/top-3-ways-to-find-large-files-on-windows-10/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2699\ufe0f Tips for better searching\n\n- Start from **This PC** in File Explorer if you're unsure which folder the file is in \u2014 this covers all drives. ([windowsloop.com](https://windowsloop.com/filter-files-by-size-in-file-explorer/?utm_source=openai))\n- Once you get results, switch the view to **Details** so you can see the file sizes next to the names. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/top-3-ways-to-find-large-files-on-windows-10/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through examples for specific file types (video, backups, etc.) or using PowerShell if you need a more advanced or automated search."
