Retrieve biggest files or folders on a Mac

I took me sometime to figure out how to retrieve the files and folders which take we biggest footprint in my HD on my Mac.
I used to use DiskInventory X. Actually we don't need it.

  1. From the Apple menu, select About this Mac
  2. From the overview window, select the Storage page
  3. From the Storage page, click on the Manage... button
  4. On the left section, click on Documents
    1. At this point you will be able to see the biggest files (not the folders).
    2. Feel free to select any of them and click on the Show in Finder to retrieve its location
  5. Now, if you click on the top button File Browser, the you retrieve your folders listed from the biggest file/folder to the smallest. Feel fee o select one of the biggest to retrieve which file/folder in the folder consumes the most of space. And so on...
