Find Large Files on Mac
Discover what's taking up space on your Mac
Overview
Sometimes the best way to free up space is to find the biggest files hiding on your Mac. That 4K video you downloaded months ago, the disk image you forgot to delete, or the old backup archive taking up significant space - these large files add up quickly.
DiskCleanKit's Large Files Scanner quickly identifies the biggest files across your disk drives. Files are sorted by size, making it easy to spot storage hogs and decide what to keep, move to external storage, or delete.
The scanner also shows file age, helping you identify large files you haven't accessed in months or years - prime candidates for cleanup or archival.

Pro Tips
Start with a 1GB threshold to find the biggest space hogs first.
Look for old disk images (.dmg) and archives (.zip) - they're often forgotten after use.
Sort by 'Last Accessed' to find large files you haven't used in months.
Consider moving large files you rarely need to an external drive instead of deleting them.
