I agree with the executive summary. But time marches on and it's really hard to
keep up.
It's easy to find large files in Windows from the GUI:
Select your DCIM folder and in the search box type: System.Size:>100kb
It's easy to find large files in Windows from the powershell CLI:
PS> Get-ChildItem s:\dcim -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Length -gt 100kb}
But my knowing how to do this doesn't translate to your knowing how to do it!
The frustration comes from knowing that it's probably doable somehow but I
don't have time to figure how.
Cheers,
