Default find big files

Download it onto a USB flash drive from another computer - it's an
executable, doesn't need installation.

Good idea. Will try file size search size option next trip over. Can not
go online due to low disk space so cannot run tree size.

To find big files, use the options in Windows Search to specify the file
size. That will only find single files that take up lots of space. Use
a utility such as TreeSize to examine the entire hard drive and find
folders that are taking up a lot of room.

I am a XP person trying to help a old lady with a Vista problem.
Something has used up 245Gb of her 250GB HD. This is after using all
built in disk maintenance programs such as Disk Cleanup. She originally
had zero bites free but I deleted some unused programs and recovered
some space "5GB". Some programs I cannot delete, I believe this is due
to the OS not having room to shuffle files.
Is there a simple way for me to find all files on the HD by file size?
Other ideas? Computer is miles away so I cannot do a lot of (try and
report).
Thanks
SG
