This Terminal command will search the designated directory and its
subdirectories for files exceeding the number of blocks (replace XXXXX)
following the size option and list them (printed to the screen) sorted in
descending size order with their full paths.

sudo find <insert directory> -type f -size +xxxxx  -exec ls -s {} \; |
/usr/bin/sort -r
