The minimum-size threshold determines which files are considered for the Large & Old result. It does not delete or hide files in Finder.

Change the threshold

  1. Open diCleaner Settings.
  2. Select Scanning.
  3. Choose Large & Old Files.
  4. Enter or step to the desired value in MB.
  5. Close Settings and start a new scan.

Existing results do not update automatically.

Choose a useful value

  • Use a higher value when storage is critically low and you want to inspect only very large files.
  • Use a moderate value for routine review.
  • Use a lower value only when you are prepared to inspect many more results.

The default 50 MB is a general starting point, not a recommendation to remove every file larger than 50 MB.

Age and dates

File systems expose created, modified, and access-related dates differently. Copying, restoring, synchronizing, or editing a file can change them.

Use age as a review signal, not proof of disuse.

Restore the default

Use Default in the threshold editor. Start a new scan after restoring it.

If an expected file remains missing, also check the selected folder, ignore rules, cloud availability, and permissions.
