Over time, computer disks fill up with lots of video files, HD images, installation packages, and other large files. These files are often spread out in different folders, which makes them hard to find and slows down the process of freeing up disk space.
The "Big File Finder" feature in WMaster Cleanup helps you get rid of big files from your hard drive. It intelligently scans your whole disk, finds all of your large files, and offers safe, effective, and batch-cleanup options to help you quickly free up space on your disk and make your system perform more efficiently.
Part 1. The Main Features of Big File Finder
- Quickly finds all of your big files without manually searching folder by folder.
- You can view files by type or by location.
- Allows batch selection and deletion, which makes cleanup much faster.

Step 3: Select the large files you want to delete (the app supports batch selection), then click the "Clean" button in the upper-right corner of the panel. Big File Finder will show you a confirmation prompt, where you need to approve deletion again. After reconfirming, WMaster Cleanup will execute the deletion process.
