How to Delete Large Files From Google Drive

Google Drive fills up faster than we think. It only takes a few large videos, old project folders, shared files, and backups before you’re stuck with a full storage warning. You may not even notice until you try to upload something important.

The issue isn’t just storage space. Once your Drive is crowded, finding useful files becomes difficult. Large files often stay hidden inside folders, and going through everything manually takes time.

MultCleaner makes this process much easier. Instead of opening folders one by one, you can search, filter, and remove large files from a single dashboard. You get a clear view of everything before taking action, which makes cleanup faster and safer.

Step 1: Connect Your Google Drive Account

Start by opening MultCleaner and adding your Google Drive account.

• Click on Add Account
• Select Google Drive
• Allow access

Once connected, your Drive files will appear inside the app. You will see a structured view instead of scattered folders, making it easier to begin cleanup right away.

Step 2: Open the File Management Section

Click on your Google Drive account from the sidebar. This will open the file management screen.

At the top, you will see filters and search tools. This is where you control how files are displayed. Instead of browsing folders, you can use filters to quickly find what you need.

The layout shows:

• File name
• File size
• File type
• Last modified date
• Selection checkbox

Everything is visible in one place.

Step 3: Filter Files by Size

To find large files, use the Size Filter. This is the most effective way to free up space quickly.

You can:

• Set a size range (for example, files larger than 50MB or 100MB)
• Instantly view only large files
• Combine size with other filters

As soon as you apply the filter, the results update in real time. There are no loading delays or folder switching. This helps you focus only on files that actually take up space.

Step 4: Combine Filters for Better Results

To narrow your search further, you can combine filters:

• Size + Date → Find large files that are old
• Size + File Type → Find large videos, PDFs, or images
• Size + Name → Search for specific projects

For example, you can filter files larger than 100MB that were last modified more than a year ago. This quickly highlights files that are likely no longer needed.

This level of filtering saves a lot of time compared to manual searching.

Step 5: Preview Files Before Deleting

Before deleting anything, you can preview files directly inside MultCleaner.

The preview shows:

• File name
• Size
• Type
• Last modified date

This step is important because it helps you confirm what you are deleting. You can quickly decide whether a file is still useful or safe to remove.

Step 6: Select Files in Bulk

Once you’re sure, start selecting files.

You can:

• Select individual files
• Use Select All for filtered results
• Deselect any file you want to keep

The app highlights selected files and shows a count at the top. This keeps everything clear and controlled. Bulk selection is where you save the most time.

Step 7: Delete Large Files

After selecting files, click the Delete button. MultCleaner will ask for confirmation before removing anything, giving you one last chance to review your selection.

Once confirmed, the selected files are removed from your Google Drive. Within seconds, you can free up a significant amount of storage space.

Step 8: Repeat for Other File Types

After clearing large files, you can continue cleaning your Drive by focusing on:

• Old documents
• Duplicate files
• Unused media
• Archived project folders

You can reuse the same filters to clean different categories. This helps keep your Drive organized over time.

Why MultCleaner?

Using MultCleaner changes how you approach cleanup. Instead of searching blindly:

• You can focus on large files that take up the most space, making cleanup faster and more effective.
• You can view detailed file information before deleting, reducing the risk of removing important data.
• Bulk deletion allows you to remove many files at once, saving time.
• You stay in full control, choosing exactly what to keep and what to delete.

This method makes cleaning Google Drive easier and less stressful.

Tips to Keep Your Google Drive Clean

• Start by removing the largest files to free up space quickly.
• Use date filters to find old files you no longer need.
• Always review files before deleting them.
• Make cleanup a regular habit by checking your Drive every few weeks.

Small, consistent efforts can prevent your Google Drive storage from filling up again.
