How to use Storage Cleanup Candidate Finder

  1. Add the requested files or choose a folder.
  2. Review the options and the displayed queue.
  3. Select Find Candidates, inspect the result, and download the generated CSV.

What this file tool does

This tool applies visible rules to folder metadata and produces a candidate report. It never deletes files or labels them automatically safe to remove.

Evaluate size, age, and extension conditions for each selected file, then rank candidate impact.

Candidates require human review. A large, old, or temporary-looking file may still be essential.

Supported inputs and limits

The tool works with files exposed through the browser picker. Actual limits depend on available device memory and browser support.

Frequently asked questions

How can I find large old files without installing an app?

Choose a folder, set size and age thresholds, and review the generated candidate list.

No. It only creates a report for you to review.

Can I search for temporary file extensions?

Yes. Enter a comma-separated extension list such as tmp, log, bak, and old.

What does Match all conditions do?

A file must meet the size, age, and extension tests to become a candidate.

Are cleanup candidates guaranteed to be safe to remove?

No. The tool cannot know whether a file is important to you or another application.
