Hey, probably just a quickie for someone knowledgable out there, but is there anyway of finding files on my drive in order of size? I'm trying to make some extra space and was wondering if theres a way of finding files larger than 1GB or so. Thanks in advance.

While you can use the Find command to find files by size, the easiest way to do what you're wanting is OmniDiskSweeper, meant for exactly this purpose.
