Just use the search function.
Have it search the entire drive for files in the specified size. You could have it search for all files named " *.* ", which would find ALL files, then list them in order by size, but this may take a while... |

No program required.
Open C or any folder. Right click in an open space, not on an icon, and chose Arrange Icons by... and chose Size. |

What you want is called a "tree-view" program.
With these programs you can easily see the relative sizes of files or directories on your computer. Sequoiaview is the name of another (free) one I like, it uses squarified treemaps. ~~~~~~~ |

There is also Ace Utilities. It does a lot more stuff like cleaning your registry and harddrive of missing links, temp files etc. Also in one of the functions it lists what your harddrive is made up of. It lists how much percentage of the harddrive is taken up by each file type. It also lists files by size from your whold drive instead of just each directory.

Big files are almost always video or games... I assume you are organized enough to find where you keep video files ? Delete unwanted video, and then uninstall any unused games.

Have you ever heard of Windows Explorer? View "Details" and click on "Size."

-It's not the same thing. Note the screenshots of SequoiaView (warning: popups ahead): www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/ Windows Explorer will sort files by size, but will only list directories by forwards or backwards alphanumeric order. And it can't display files insided more than one directory at a time. Tree-view programs will show all the files on a partition at once, but still organized by directories. ~ |
