0:31 Way 1. Via File Explorer
The first is using Windows File Explorer, which is the traditional way of managing your files on hard drives.
1. Press /"Window E/" to open File Explorer.
2. Click /"This PC/" to open the target hard drive and find the large files you want to delete, right-click them and select /"Delete/" from the drop-down menu.

The second method is to use Windows' built-in tool: Command Prompt. Let's see how to delete large files in Windows 10 or 11 with it. First open Command Prompt.
1. Type /"cmd/" in Windows search box and /"Run as administrator/".
2. Let's say your target folder is called "Photos" in C drive.
3. Next, in the cmd box, type /"cd c://photos/" and press "Enter/".
4. Now your directory will be replaced with this folder. You can put the following command:
cat.png. Then the target big file will be deleted.

2:00 p.m. Way 3. Via a third-party file removal tool
AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional is an all-in-one file removal tool designed for Windows. The /"Delete Large Files/" function will scan all the large files on your hard drive and list them one by one. In case you delete some important files by mistake, this tool allows you to check the files yourself, marks in red the files that are not recommended for deletion, and makes you confirm again before the operation.

1. Launch AOMEI Partition Assistant, then click /"All Tools/" and /"Delete Large Files/".
2. In the pop-up window, select the partitions you want to search and delete large files and click /"Start Scan/" to search for files larger than 16MB.
3. Once the scan is completed, all large files found are listed. Check the files you want to delete, then click the /"Delete/" button.
4. The next window will ask you to confirm the files you just checked for deletion. If it is correct, click “Remove Now” to begin the removal process.
