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.

Hello,

You can utilize the search box on the upper right part of the window, to find and sort out folders depending on their sizes. On the search box, simply type "size:" and a drop-down option will be made available. This way, you can easily sort folders depending on their size.
