How to search for files spanned over the whole HD?

[ClarkeB]

I have 236 total GB (sold as 250, but since the pan and scanning of disk space...etc.) on my iMac G5 and have a ton of videos, etc. on my computer. Well, Finder is loving to tell me I have 59.71 GB left and I can't find where the 170+GBs went. Is there any sort of app or hack to list every file on my HD in order of size: greatest to smallest. Thanks!

Alternatively, go into Finder and click on View Options and check of "calculator folder sizes" or something like that... and it should show you how much each folder has in it.

Oh...I realized where all my HD space is going...to DVD backups!

Thanks so much!

Also, using find (not spotlight) you can search for all files over a certain size. So if 20 gigs suddenly disappears, just do a search for all files over 19 gigs, and it'll come up.

That will do it. I just found 50 GB that way! I like omnidisksweeper, it is very helpful and finding huge files you don't need.
